Hmm, that doesn&#x27;t make any sense to me.<p>You were very vague about what this &quot;care&quot; work is. For child care, as in your own children, somebody has to do it. It shouldn&#x27;t be assumed to be women but it makes no sense for this to be a paid thing.<p>If you mean something like elder care, for example, and you don&#x27;t feel it&#x27;s worth doing it for free, then just don&#x27;t do it. I don&#x27;t know why you feel (or you feel anyone else) would be expected to do this work<p>With a basic income, if you think elder care is important and&#x2F;or something you <i>want</i> to do, you can afford to do it for free. Because you have a basic income. If you want <i>more</i> than a basic income you have to do something that people want to pay for. But you have the freedom to walk away from any job without fear of homelessness and poverty.<p>Your worries about permanent slavery seem to have very little to do with basic income. In fact, the <i>main reason</i> for basic income is to free people from the wage slavery we have now. People are stuck in barely livable wages because they don&#x27;t have the time away from work to get into a better paying career.
