That's really just a company store but worse somehow.
You're going to have a market. If you make markets illegal you'll just have black markets. You need to contend with that, failing to realize that literally killed the Soviet Union. It got so bad, and was such a core part of daily life that they just kinda made it legal, and the union collapsed shortly after.
You can't fix homelessness by making it illegal, you can destroy markets by making them illegal. These things have been tried and failed in practice.
I've read The Expanse lol. I was describing the system on Earth in that series.
The thing is, markets predate the written word. Some form of trading is literally one of the first things humans did. It could even be a prehuman invention. Eliminating markets is like trying to eliminate prostitution, or drugs.
Markets, much like life, uhh... Find a way.
Instead of turning up your nose, make them work for you, in a way you want. We don't want the markets to spread, unrestrained, like kudsu. We want Bonsai markets.
Provide basic needs, food, clothing, healthcare, childcare, and education. Hell even a phone and Internet access.
Emphasis on the basic.
Allow for those who do not wish to, or are unable to work to live with all basic needs covered. Those who wish to work are incentivized to do so, with access to luxuries. Better housing, better clothing, better technology. Allow a place for the market, but don't make people depend on the market.
No reason to work a job you hate, no reason to employ people you don't need. Everybody wins.
Guys sleep at the plant. They have showers and beds. They'll spend a week there, rake in an ass load of overtime, and go home for a few hours a week. Rinse, repeat. To what end I have no idea, not like you can do that forever
There's better places out there my guy. Fuck em, they don't care about you, make every job a gap filler until you find someone you're happy to work for
"WELL I DON'T LIKE IT WHEN THEY WON'T HIRE WHITE PEOPLE WHO ARE MORE QUALIFIED"
They genuinely believe that white men are at a significant disadvantage in the workforce because DEI hires. No amount of memes or conversation will convince them how ridiculous that is.
We also didn't make the model T suggest replacing the engine when the oil light comes on. Cars, as it happens, aren't that great at self diagnosis, despite that technology being far simpler and further along than generative models are. I don't trust the model to tell me what temperature to bake a cake at, I'm sure at hell not going to trust it with medical information. Googling symptoms was risky at best before. It's a horror show now.
RFK is that inept admiral that gets choked out by Vader really early on.
Musk is more like a Hutt, in both shape and attitude, but like Ziro from the clone wars cartoon.
And Trump is closer to Jar Jar than anyone. An idiotic agent of chaos who happens to be a useful idiot to actual agents of evil, who know better than to set foot in the white house.
It's weird that Jefferson literally demanded helpless children be shot in schools like that but hey that's what the Constitution says so I guess we gotta let em do it.
WHAT DO YOU MEAN SOMEONE TOOK A KNEE AT THE NATIONAL ANTHEM??!!???
I found this in my app list, it hadn't asked for any permissions. If it's looking at every image I get, it's doing so extremely discreetly.
Sus. Very sus.
