They should all learn to code. Oh, wait. (Also: AI is going to eat up a lot of basic software jobs, too).https://twitter.com/jselingo/status/806463474989670401 …

Even the most far-out answer—minimal "basic income"—is nowhere near a solution. Will just free up people's time to gather up the pitchforks.

Almost everyone born in 1940s made more than their parents. Born in the 80s? Only 50%. Midwestern states? Norm is to make less than parents.pic.twitter.com/Y249i0eGlx

And the problem isn't lack of growth. GDP growth is doing fine. It's inequality. Gains are going to the well-off. Very straightforward.

Here's the article. If we went back to pre-1970 level of inequality, the problem goes away. That's it. http://www.nytimes.com/2016/12/08/opinion/the-american-dream-quantified-at-last.html …pic.twitter.com/SUn1eyIU65

I support a good safety net. But you can't replace meaning, structure & schedule with a small UBI stipend—unless importing humans from Mars.

no short term fix, but need to derive meaning/structure from full-day labor is a learned thing. Need to start un-teaching it.

You can only un-teach in a democracy it the society is not mired in great inequality, though.

Aye. Like I said, no short term fix. Keeping most of humanity mired in busywork because of induced work ethic is bleak though.
