The idea that every human should have to work is ridiculous. The problem that needs to be solved is how to not let anyone starve, while not out breeding the supply of available resources. With the toxification of the environment and food supply, this will not be a problem for the foreseeable future, as it is causing drops in fertility in developed countries.

Our economic system is archaic and no longer applies to a world where machines are taking over jobs. The automation revolution will not stop, even if we do not have $15 per hour minimum wage. Maybe, instead of working ourselves to death, we could fix the basic needs problem and spend our time learning how to get along. There will be many more changes soon. Can we adapt?
