French workers protest plan to increase retirement age
The world needs basic income, with guaranteed housing, internet and food.<p>We have the means to do it.<p>Upto 75% of population is employed in bullshit jobs anyway (= not producing anything, or even being harmful to the society).<p>Only 2% of population working in agriculture already produces food for 10+ billion people, just 8% works in manufacturing (IIRC).<p>Give the basic income population plant-based food (== use just 25% of agriculture land) and automate transport (trains) and distribution (like amazon with its warehouses).<p>Everybody can choose to work on anything they want, and be compensated for doing so, of course.<p>We&#x27;d save the environment, stop biodiversity loss and store more carbon than produced since 1750 (reforesting grazing lands), solve the world hunger, save the environment (no need to own so much cars, burn so much fuel and time going to meaningless jobs, to pay for a roof over a head with 40 years of life, no need for so much pesticides&#x2F;herbicides, deforestation etc.) ...<p>Hm ... time to stop dreaming. Back to work.
