Unless they change our whole democracy and stop us voting then I can't see how the above would happen.
Agree with the basic sentiment but most of us find that incredibly difficult due to factors largely beyond our control.
It would be interesting to know how many people on here love their job and how many hate theirs or are ambivalent about it.
Yeah, it’s not like there’s a history in this country of working class people being manipulated to vote against their own interests. It’s why we continue to have such a strong trade union movement, a fair distribution of income and excellent occupational pension coverage.
I'd like to think, but may well be wrong, that if say 40% of the workforce was unemployed and not surviving on universal credit of buttons per week or whatever it is then a party promising a UBI of say 1500 per month and covering it by taxing the use of bots that had replaced human workers would be a massive vote winner.
They may well do, but I suspect that the 60% will be told that those people are all lazy, feckless or scroungers. History tells us that some of the 40% will believe that too.
They wouldn't, sadly. People will vote against their own interests as they have always done. Equalising society, means you have a lot of people better than they currently are and a lot who are worse than they currently are and a lot who would be significantly worse off than they currently are and those people have the funds to stop it happening.
Nosh1t Sherlock - It is an old saying but I believe you know that.
When I was younger I told my Career's advisor at school that I wanted to make computer games for a living... he laughed at me (tbf this was about 92 so games weren't exactly big business back then). Through some tough years in my teens, and a life that could of gone off the rails, I actually made it to Uni and did my degree and masters and went into games as a programmer. Over 20 years later I'm still making computer games as a job. I still like games, at least the ones I enjoy playing, but the job and work now is just exactly that... a job and work, not the passion I had when I was younger. I don't do code projects outside of work becuase it just feels like more work and anything I did would be company property anyhow so without leaving, or being shady as ****, there's no Minecraft, Terraria, Stardew Valley or Balatro for me. Instead I focus more on other things I still have a passion for such as painting and music.
I am sure it's been paraphrased on numerous occasions by numerous people and can be said in many ways that all have the same meaning regarding the importance of pursuing a fulfilling life.
