I'm trying to figure out if I can find a cheaper solution than 100 euro travel costs for train from Marseille to some random ass village in the Provence (Sisteron if anyone's interested in the random little village). Is it better to impulsively check at the station in Marseille if I'll find cheaper options, or to just order now so I'll be safe? I'd go there with train and then come back 5 days later. The 100 euro's if for 2 people (so 50 per person) | ||

I think that's a question with too many possible answers and none of them will be good. Imo it would increase crime rate astoundingly, economic disaster, low education people will need help from the governament, governaments won't have enough money. | ||

Hopefully implementing Basic Income to keep people fed and increases in leisure to keep them occupied. If not. Chaos, lots of unhappy starving people. | ||

I've also seen suggestions of making the work force voluntary. But apparently the US administration thinks we have plenty of time. suffice to say people disagree with that | ||

Usually there are always vending machines, in case it's very early/late (which is often in Marseille...) | ||

Either way, if we eventually reach a point where you have say 10% of the population be able to make say 50k/year USD for everyone in society due to such heavy automation, then the liveable free money that the government gives you seems like a very reasonable idea... With the option to work to make more money. But I think that there should always be jobs, because whether you're buying a haircut or a computer, more or less 100% of that cost is labor. And as long all your cost of a product comes for labor, which is mostly everything minus carbon taxes, royalties, etc... And people will want more things even if they are wealthy, there should be work. No mention on the types of jobs though. | ||

It really is mostly just an excuse for guys to get away from the wives, shoot the shit about business/local politics, and utilize their experience to charity work. Each lodge is slightly different, some are more social, some more networking oriented, and some are really hardcore on the community service. Given the type of people it attracts, there's definitely some "backroom politics" vibes at times. You do get a cool ring. | ||

Have you considered that that is just what they are showing you because you are not one of them, and in reality they are secretly running everything in an eeeeeevil way? | ||
