Wouldn't it be great... People would no longer need to work two jobs to survive, heck some might just stop working altogether - which is great, as it creates an undersaturated job market where employees have way better footing to negotiate.
The only people this doesn't benefit are the uber-wealthy who rely on people needing to work in order to bleed them dry - and for that reason alone, it may very well never come to fruition. Bloody shame ain't it.
Almost like "turning the bull loose" caused irreparable systemic damage.
Accidentally appropriate metaphor.
Or the cost of everything goes up to compensate.
