How come no country has implemented passive income yet? From what I understand it's been successful where it has been tested.
Also it's the only logical step in an increasingly more efficient and automated society. We shouldn't be working 40+ hours per day, we should be doing art, philospophy and science like the greek niggas were doing.

>We shouldn't be working 40+ hours per day
What about the poor corporaterinos
But what about muh economics?
What you're asking for is communism and no, it has never worked.
At least in my country, many people don't actually do anything at their jobs. They just go to an office and dick around for eight hours a day because working is something "youre supposed to do". It's bullshit.
If machines, fertilizers and software have rendered a lot of previous chores obsolete, why are we still pretending like we have something to do? Just give us the money and let us do other shit.
No wonder mental health is going down the shitter in western countries.
I was actually part of passive income test here and i was working for 20 hours a week.
Without passive income i would lose all my benefits and working for 20 hours would mean less money than welfare gives me now.
After it ended i just quit and became NEET again.
>Just give us the money and let us do other shit.
It's not your money. The money belongs to the shareholders.
I will never consent to funding gibsmedats for poorfags. Most people are fine without having passive income because they have careers and income. I will not be punished for doing the right thing and working hard just to pay for NEETs and unemployed drug addicts.
I don't think you know what communism is. I'm not advocating for class struggles or ending the income gap between poor and rich.
i will NEVER wageslave in this multiculti HELLHOLE if they EVER implement UBI.
People who promote it think we already live in the year 2350 already and everything is automated. But that's not the case.
But that's the problem with leftist ideologies in general. They believe they live in some utopian future, which ignoring the reality of today.
Boomers and their mindset have to die off first before this can become reality

Don't you have neet money? That's as close to free shit as you'd get
I know it all too well. And you're certainly talking like a lazy commie dreaming about his utopia in which nobody has to work unless they want to. The means by which you propose doing this is essentially the same as seizing the means of production and redistributing the wealth. Pure commie talk. None of that wealth belongs to you unless you're a shareholder or is owed compensation as part of your employment terms.
The money provided by passive income will be spent on stuff, stimulating the market. Stimulus packages are used all the time in macroeconomics.
There's no inherent value in working hard if your work is meaningless. Working hard to grow crops or invent shit is admirable and important, but investing time and effort into meaningless jobs is just Sisyfosian.
Most office workers do their daily tasks in 1-2 hours and just dick around the rest of the time. It's working only for the sake of working. That time should be spent furthering mathemathics or writing plays.
>How come no country has implemented passive income yet?
because of chiner, unironically
I would rather a complete reset on wealth than have everyone automatically given money for existing, how fucking dysgenic is the population going to be when the most disgusting creatures on Earth aren't met by any evolutionary pressures?

In the early 2000s you could get NEET money if you just felt like it. Today it's a lot more stict, you need to have a doctor's assessment that you are fully unable to work. Even then it's a lot of administrative hassle to go through.
Most jobs have a ton of filler shit if they aren't entirely useless in the first place. I used to assemble components for a living, a fairly physical job, and I still got the whole week's work done in one day and a half. All the boomers in my team had learned to do it leisurely and take a lot of breaks so they had something to do for the whole 40 hours and then they liked to work overtime for extra pay. Why do people want to live like that?
It goes against..."global interests".
It'd be cool if we could, but we really aren't there yet. The money will still have to come from somewhere, and who are you gonna tax when no one works?
I think for now a better solution would be to try to eliminate the useless parts of jobs and just send everyone home early once the actual work is done instead of having them just sit around and do meaningless tasks. Having to do just part time work already eliminates many of the downsides of the 40 hours workweek, while still being feasible and still giving people a sense of purpose that they won't get from just hedonisticly sitting at home all day
That's not at all what I'm saying. You're putting words in my mouth and getting angry about what you pretend that I'm saying. Please refrain from replying any further if you lack reading comprehension.
You can't stop evolution. Sexual selection would still be a driving force.
>300 euros
If you don't rent it's fine... probably... maybe? Dunno, that sum would work here.
>hassle
Don't think UBI will be "yes i want free shit thanks bye" either, unless it's global, country-wide in this case.
>pretending to work
Ah yes, the neverending classic. Because if you don't there'll be "something" you can do so you're not "slacking".
>You can't stop evolution. Sexual selection would still be a driving force.
sexual selection is not an evolutionary force
My point exactly. No wonder that people are feeling increasingly depressed in a system like this.
Of course not *all* work is useless, but a large part of it is.
One practical solution could be that instead of the normalized 8 hour work day, you could recieve the same salary as long as you just finish your tasks, which might just take a couple of hours.
cool so how are you competing against adversarial states?
Females choosing a partner with favourable genetics over unwanted genetics is a evolutionary driving force in practically all animals. What are you talking about?
I know but there is this notion that if we were to share resources to people so most can have liveable lives without breaking down their bodies and mental states for their whole life like its their goal in life it would somehow crash the economy and economy is apparently more important than the happiness of the people.
I think the biggest issue would probably be that 90% would just amount to nothing and be social and happy with their friends. Which honestly sounds like a nice society i would wanna live in.
>Most office workers do their daily tasks in 1-2 hours and just dick around the rest of the time.
Most days i dont even do that. Like I have to struggle finding stuff to do so I can tell them at daily meetings what I did.
