I agree in a philosophical sense, but if we lose a lot of the workforce to machine opiate we will struggle unless we also eliminate social welfare programs.

Social welfare was crushing the workforce to begin with. That has never been a good idea.

People without legs and arms on permanent disability weren't gonna be working anyway.

And anyone who is on "welfare" and can work a nice job, would do so, because being on welfare sucks major ass.

You think there's people sacrificing a fucking salary for 400 dollars worth of SNAP a month that they have to spend on raw, uncooked foods? Come on. Does that even begin to make sense?

If I could find a way to live without working I absolutely would. Nothing "sucks ass" like stressing over some corporation's made up problems you're not properly empowered to solve.
