What would be a fair way to manage wages without the need for unemployment?

Right. This is important to remember. I think my question is still valid because it's about the real rate and not the published figure.

When trying the schedule, do you go to sleep at the same time or do you get up at the same time?

If it's just the universe, what would the universe want to experience? Should everybody live comfortably and kind of predictably or would the universe want to experience the maximally possible variance in life?

Problem is that it's not against the interest of the peasants.

Everybody knows how poor life can be in the rest of the world. Once you go human decency you want to share with everybody. You may even care about animals.

The slippery slope of compassion.

The 3.5 miles is the problem. That's a 7 miles roundrtip.

If only housing units could be packed more. If only we could compare prices with other countries.

Edit: could I get some feedback for the downvotes please? If we want cheap delivery, don't we need densely packed cities?

I figured because you wrote that they are the problem.

Extra comment for billionaire contributions.

To put it bluntly: if they shape society, is that no contribution?

With some struggling, workers could invest part of their wages but they live paycheck to paycheck, of course often also not entirely by their own choice.

Instead of asking everybody to save, money is pooled in billionaires who don't struggle when they invest.

That creates an unfair power imbalance but workers could change everything with taxes if they suffered too much.

I prefer to think that billionaires are not the only ones who can bring an end to the infighting.

The population chooses to be shapen.

The population can choose differently, unless they reaffirm each other that only billionaires can create change.

The theme is that I think that workers miss their opportunities when they frame the situation as a billionaire problem.

You joke but why don't we apply that human rights knowledge and integrate billionaires into society? Of course there are huge power issues. Why does this make dehumanization suddenly acceptable?

Instead of letting Forbes compile a list, what could be a good start for interactions?
