I've been randomly watching the democratic debates recently...
they're always like,

"Job jobs jobs! I'm going to create more jobs!

Not a single one of them gives any indication of how that would happen... or if they do it's along the lines of stopping the outsourcing we're doing to other countries. Spoiler alert: a lot of those jobs aren't that great.

The best way to create jobs is to utilize the inefficiency caused by decentralization. Decentralization creates trust at the cost of efficiency. This is actually exactly what the economy needs right now. We no longer need to be efficient. We need trust. Desperately.

More than trust, we need the ability for low level workers to own a piece of the greater whole, without those gains being inflated away by a central authority. This should be an automatic process rather than one citizens have to opt in to (like buying and holding stock options). This way even if the citizen is terrible with money they're still taken care of.

UBI is very dangerous, especially in America, because we foster a gluttonous social construct that glorifies wealth and extravagance. UBI doesn't work if citizens aren't going to spend their money intelligently. What you end up with is a lot of misallocated resources.
