It’s a shame we’ve spent since the mid-00s in western countries demonising people receiving benefits/welfare. By mid century I believe many people will be displaced from the workforce as professions become increasingly automation.

People left the fields to go to the factories in the Industrial Revolution but the ability to create an unlimited artificial workforce is a paradigm shift we have not seen.

We need to be preparing ourselves for large swathes of the world population not working and find meaning and purpose from other activities.

I’m sure that I’ll get replies that it will take time, the US, China etc. will be first… what about the developing world… yes they will be generationally behind the curve.

Why is it important? You think places like the US has civil unrest now when people are working three jobs with no healthcare to cover rent payments? Wait until your McDonald’s is nothing more than an automated burger and fries vending machine kitchen with one or two employees to clean up and there is mass unemployment.

The law is for the rest of the population to simplify the repair process because it doesn't really have to be that complicated. Wouldn't you like an easier repair?
