Paul! What a great session. And so true and the part about folks lower on the rungs of prosperity doing those low paying repetitive demeaning jobs and all that you spoke of on in your presentation today; true exploitation, and getting worse thanks to Artificial "Intelligence". Not having time to participate in the politics, civics, education or family life is deadening and allows nefarious bosses and owners to increase the speed of sucking the life blood out of us. And citizens have no time to realize it. It's a criminal enterprise being perpetrated every day.
Thanks for speaking up for these dead disposable former live humans, Paul. When I was employed as a land surveyor (laying out houses and buildings in all sorts of weather-freezing to extreme heat) I would often witness foreign workers (Mexican usually - stealing the jobs that no one around here wanted) doing all sorts of dangerous things - things that could hurt or kill them and felt frustrated that I could not speak their language well enough to warn them - even if I could speak better Spanish they really had very little choice but to risk it for $$$$.
Paul, where did that photo of the worker covered in mud come from? I regularly see posts (with pictures) about how agricultural workers are dealing with 100+ degree heat in the fields, mostly in California, so that now their shifts are changing to overnight, so as to avoid the brutal heat. Essential workers, as they are euphemistically called, while their jobs kill them.

Thoughts on Universal Basic Income?
A guaranteed adequate income for all is a human right that simply cannot co-exist with the capitalist mode of production.
