The American tech scene would explode in a second Renaissance if the US got basic universal health care as a public right.

@Elucidating or 3/4 of engineers would quit for the farms :clown:

But seriously, there's no end to the reasons we need this.

@khionu Yes I bet a bunch of people would do something they'd instantly regret. But that would be good for the industry. Get the folks who are only here for the cash out.

Those folks aren't always bad, just to be clear. But I'd like to imagine a world where people like their work.

@Elucidating @khionu

Most great engineers I know, have some kind of dream of a non-tech job. That said, that's mostly because tech companies generally have a soul draining "culture".

@ainmosni @khionu We will also need to find a away to lure away the middle management.
@Elucidating @ainmosni just take something bougie, like boats, and slap on something actually productive, like building them.
