i mean, what really is the harm? we have lot sof food, lots of places to stay. let people hang out. i guess eventually you could argue the whole country would just be hanging out, but i doubt it. people would stillw ant to do better than the dole. but a lot of people wont be able to …so let people rent cheap places, hang out, grow vegetables, drink coffee all day and discuss art and politics, read books, stare at the clouds, do yoga. change the word “unemployment” though, because this new regime should not be relatedin any way to employment. the word unemployment is bad, since it implies a lack, this is to say, an absence of employment. If one is unemployed, then the term implies that you should go get employed and stop being void of employment….this new situation should be disconnected from employment. “anti-employment” is too charged, and will still remind people that they are without employment.
welfare is too pejorative.
how about “freedom payments”?
the dole?
“national extended vacation time”.
“Hang out pay”?
this paradigm change, coupled with legalized marijuana this fall in california, has the potential to usher in a golden era of hanging out in the USA. I gotta go to work right now though.
