IMO the big picture here is that globalization + automation is rapidly getting us to the point where we have far more people than jobs in the US.

At that point, all of the old assumptions about how society has to be ordered (i.e., work to live) fail. The least radical proposal that has a chance of addressing this, IMO, is a guaranteed living wage. But that is an exceedingly difficult thing to get enacted in a plutocracy like the US.

The plutocrats’ preferred plan (implicitly from their actions in running the GOP) is for the useless mouths to die.
