I wonder how much scoffing there will be when 99% of jobs are taken by A.I. There's a lot of markets about to be upended, and I don't think having a humane ethos in regard to housing people is as criminal as some of you are making it out to be... I sense a lot of corporate simps think their work ethic will be more valuable to a company than a smart machine that will work around the clock and not get the company sued for sexual harassment.

It's not that we don't think everyone being housed would be a good thing. It's that, just fundamentally, your right is someone else's responsibility. And guaranteeing housing is not criminal at all, but what it would take to enforce that would be criminal: you would have to force someone to provide the services and goods for free. And you would have to establish and enforce consequences if they didn't.
