I've never heard of this rampant deadly disease that targets the unemployed.
Go work in an ER. The homeless are super susceptible to all kinds of diseases.
I doubt that in a society of abundance and equality, everyone would choose to live homeless.
Where does the abundance come from if nobody is working?
Ok here's my pitch: murder the top 5 billionaires and liquidate their assets. That's 2.5 trillion. Everyone on earth gets like 300 bucks. Keep doing that until it evens out a bit. Also grow a vegetable garden.
Money's worth comes from the ability to buy someon else's work with it. If no one is working money is worthless.
Good, buy someone else's work by trading for it with some of your own.
That's already how the system works.
