The problem isn&#x27;t a highway it&#x27;s that we have more labor than we need for society to exist while we simultaneously offer nearly no social safety net for those out of work.  This country needs to offer a minimal viable income to all citizens.  I&#x27;m sure nearly everyone will blast me for how bad this will be and for the inflation that&#x27;ll surely happen but every study I&#x27;ve seen shows that giving people relatively small amounts of money improves every aspect of their lives.  Society pays to incarcerate people, to police people, to heal people, and to try and educate people.  I say we take it one step further and just pay our citizens for simply existing.
