I&#x27;m sure lots of people would appreciate not having to work 3 jobs up to 60h&#x2F;week. Scaling back to max 30-35 hours like in more progressive countries sounds interesting. c.f. Michael Moore&#x27;s &quot;where to invade next&quot; (I usually don&#x27;t like his style, but I liked that movie)<p>A few countries are in talks about converting most types of social benefits into a flat garanteed minimum revenue (which is then taxed). Countries considering this include Canada and a few EU countries (Switzerland are probably the most advanced in this discussion).<p>Instead of racing to the bottom, competing for bad jobs, we should level the playing field and give people more options in order to adapt to this new economy. Although I guess it&#x27;s obvious by now that I&#x27;m Canadian :)
