St Rev talks about this too, and I agree. It’s a much bigger problem than most people think, I think.https://twitter.com/amelapay/status/1125747486142947329 …

it's part of why I'm sort of drawn towards basic income, for all its (many, serious) faults. sucks that it's not genuinely possible for people who could have eked out a living roaming around on the land to do that. you know, the ones who aren't going to attend coding bootcamp etc

basic income means that the underclasses have even MORE time to (a) breed, (b) wander the streets and get into trouble. Where does Basic Income leave us in 3-4 more generations? Given that 50% of the world is in a population that's -1 SD average, do we extend this world wide?

I liked that Nancy Kress' novel "Beggars in Spain" addressed this problem. I disliked that it reached the wrong conclusion (that we have to set ourselves up as day care nannies to micromanage / help the wreckers)
