Salaried wages don’t make sense for a whole lot of positions tho
Comment on Bill Gates says a 3-day work week where 'machines can make all the food and stuff' isn't a bad idea
Acters@lemmy.world 10 months agoWe should stop measuring our productivity in hourly and need to go back to salary well paying positions, or everyone needs to share the costs with UBI instead.

“machines can make all the food and stuff”
Don’t see any reason why we couldn’t have maintainence and repair robots as well, so what manufacturing employees?
SCB@lemmy.world 10 months ago
There will, for all of the foreseeable future, be a human element in every manufacturing or farming process.

Exactly, and it shouldn’t be hard to find someone willing to do that job for 3 days a week.

That really depends on weather we can create AGI or not. Might come sonner than you think.

Good luck convincing companies to change anything that won’t make them more money. I think the only way it can happen is with UBI, hopefully funded by the hoarded assets of the few biggest companies and billionaires where all the money is getting accumulated.

You mean the people who don’t think healthcare should be a right also would not be down with UBI? I’m shocked I tell you. Shocked.
