Anon OpinAs yet another UBI trial rolls past showing that it works really well, it's hard not to conclude that the main reason nobody adopts it is because bad employers don't want to give up their leverage over the desperate and poor to work in shit conditions for pittance.
foundseed@anon_opin the class mechanism that capitalism employs requires a perpetually hungry underclass. Without a class of people under threat of starvation, most jobs wouldn't have workers. If there was no socio-economic punishment for being poor, people wouldn't reach for soul grinding jobs. And those are the ones capitalists need most. Class being fluid under capitalism is a threat presented as an opportunity.
