Great. I have plenty of money and hate contributing to society in any meaningful manner -- I consume only. I'll manage the crop pickers from my phone, though. When do you start?
Which means what in your mind? It’s not as if many techbros are all that useful or cannot be immediately replaced.
What about the overwhelming majority if welfare recipients who do not live near where food is farmed?
Should we never permit people on welfare to have the chance to improve their lot in life because having to do farm labor all day will stop most from being able to do anything else.
Because again most do not live anywhere near these fields. Why should welfare recipients be slaves or less well paid not actual employees to for-profit companies?
You are proposing a horrible solution. This is not going to fix any issue and will cause so many more problems
Most welfare recipients do already work. You have to be disabled to be on welfare and not working.
