  If the jobs aren’t necessary, then surely there’s a way to organize society without those jobs existing.

  This is the fundamental argument behind universal basic income.

  As to the question of how to fund stuff like pensions or UBI without everyone working, the answer is simply to tax those who are working more, especially those making huge amounts of money.

    Sure, but that’s not relevant to the “necessary jobs” thing you brought up.

      Your response was

      It’s not about necessary jobs, it’s about paying into social security / pensions.

      In my answer those are two topics that are not directly related, although they are linked by both having to do with the economy.

      Hence I gave responses to both topics.

        The “necessary jobs” topic is unrelated to the “fund pensions” topic. And the “fund pensions” topic is the one that’s being discussed in relation to population control.

        You brought up a completely irrelevant topic, that’s what I’m saying.
