in the old days labour was valuable and people were allowed to live in reasonable places. everyone would pile into a village and everyone did something to help out. a loner guy would be sitting around sharpening spears or digging a ditch and at night he would sleep in a barn. nowadays that guy, not being able to get a corporate job and not being able to afford a corporate apartment, simply has nowhere else to go but the sidewalk. we dont utilize people's labor if they dont meet this corporate quantum. theres no in-between. or its so small it barely exists. in the 50s it was huge and people could live in a tiny little shitty apartment. back then even the unfortunate had some stake in society. society is sick. the mind virus of college degrees has taken over. i was watching 48 hours and they actually used the fact that someone didnt have a college degree as a point of concern regarding his character.

the plain and simple fact is that as automation and outsourcing continue, jobs will move toward being completely managerial in nature, and only a small group of people at the top will have jobs. the space between now and UBI will be tons of homeless and disenfranchised.
