Because the good of humanity doesn’t heat the house or put dinner on the table. Never has and never will. If you were a human, you’d have learned that from experience.
What’s with the disgusting eugenics? Just expropriate their wealth.
Some of that is exaggeration for comedic effect. “Okay, thanos snap every rich person everywhere is gone, we’ve solved greed. Now what?” But also…have we ever tried exterminating the rich? I think I’ve got a hypothesis here worth testing.
Right, so let’s distribute the burden of this labour
Who gets to make the decisions as to how?
Again, for the benefit of humanity and let’s distribute the burden.
Well now we’re getting into some Robert Heinlein. Service Guarantees Citizenship! Would you like to know more?
I believe he once backed down a little bit on the requirement for military service, in favor of civil service in general. And I can kinda get behind that. You want to have a say in how society is run? Go spend 6 years as a mailman or a middle school janitor. Go be an NTSB accident investigator or one of those folks working in the USDA’s kitchens testing canning recipes for safety. Those are the folks who should be running the show.

I don’t know man, money doesn’t heat my home or grow food. It’s the skilled maintenance worker who fixes the central heating, the farmers growing my food and the logistics personnel ensuring it ends up on the supermarket shelves. It’s just good people doing the work that needs doing, I don’t think it’s a given that anyone needs monetary compensation for that.
This is why we invented democracies.
Haha, hell yeah! Just imagine decision makers having actual experience doing useful labour, I imagine things would turn out better indeed! :)
