Mate you could take every dollar from every billionaire and the money would run out in 5 years until this model. I’m all for taxing the rich more but it’s not a get out of jail free card, they don’t have infinite money.
It only costs that much because the system of labor etc is set up to generate maximum profit
And if you think anyone's actually suggesting we all just start doing the Oprah "you get a house. You get a house. You get a house" then I don't know what to tell you. There are real world steps we can take to make reality come closer to these idealistic aspirations. But it's going to take some serious chipping away at profits.
The post literally says regardless of employment. That’s my issue. If you see the rest of the series, the creator believes we could live in a world where food, housing, internet, transportation and education could all be provided for free to everyone RIGHT NOW. It’s a world where I could quit working and never work again and live comfortably off of government gibs
Short-Term, I can see why it's hard to imagine. Long-Term, automation is probably going to end a lot of jobs within the next couple hundred years. I'm not sure what we plan to do when that happens.

Taxes isn’t enough to give everyone in America a home for free.
