      So that is true. But minimal income amidst great inequality isn't that way forward, in my view.

      shorter work week plus compensating care work well (along with other safety net features like UBI) are a better combination.

      And yet UBI will compensate all unpaid work and enable people to work less. Consider the power to say "no" it provides.

      You're misreading how little leverage most employees have at the moment, and it's getting weaker all the time.

      Unions have power through the ability to strike. UBI grants that same power individually instead of collectively.

      If that is in return for a minimal income amidst great wealth (thus great inequality), it will be a significant+

      crisis rather than a sense of liberation. A strong safety net (which I'm for) doesn't solve how to be a society.

      Of course it doesn't, but it also does not in any way prevent us from having that disussion.

      What you're saying is like, "I'll eat this food, but it wont help me figure out what to do with my life."

      No, what I'm saying is a solid safety net is good, but the fundamental problem remains.

          A fundamental problem is the lack of basic income. Let's fix that and then tackle future improvements.

          Yeah, I don't get the "we must solve all problems at the same time" mentality.
