Poor libertarians, like our spammer here. Automation and computers will soon put their punitive work ethic out of business. "Free stuff" "given by the government" will be in vogue again, overcoming the Reaganoid plague. Libertarians base their whole "freedom" propaganda on the idea that we must work for a living. But what if work has to change, as envisioned by the Ted speaker on the new new ideas thread I started? What if a guaranteed basic income puts the guilt of the survival/scarcity-based work ethic off the table, and libertarian conservatives can no longer use the rant about stealing "my" tax money to give to freeloaders, because we will ALL become freeloaders? What if wage guarantees of more money for less hours of work are put in place so machines and trade doesn't put us all out of a job? What if the people see that the owners of the machines and all the wealth don't deserve and did not "earn" all the huge salaries and dividends that they expropriate and hoard and use to wield enormous power over our state and our lives?
No, "janet" "hiphopper" "dcgal" "nebraska" dude or dudette, whichever you are. No, Classic Xer and Galen. Your libertarian guilt trip is on its way out! And good riddance!
