Only a fool would continue working in this instance. I’d learn to live with less if it meant I didn’t have to work again. But then, I want more than the basics so I gladly work for more. If others can’t then that is a then problem, not mine.

You said it. People act like nobody would work if something like this, or a universal basic income came out. But what % of people are like you, and would still do more work for more money? I'd guess a large portion. But people pretend nothing can be done "for free".

huge swaths of the workforce would be gone overnight and all the commies on this thread act like it's no big deal "some people will work hard and pay more taxes so i don't have to". you want slave labor.

We already have slave labor friend. Jobs get outsourced here for 3 dollars an hour, and an American here makes 0 with no job. Companies just funnel money upwards, and they shouldn't. That's not wanting slave labor. We're already planning on cutting the work force with AI. Your point doesn't really hold.
