I last left off talking about my ideas on how work would function in an Equal Money System. In this post I will give my suggestions for how relaxing and having fun should function in such a system. I've never really thought about this so please bear with me as I create a solution out of thin air by analyzing what we have created so far. Please refer to the Joe's Equal Money System ideas post before reading this blog post.
The subject is Entertainment. After you've worked hard supporting everyone else through the EMS what will you do once you get home from work or school? Well in our current system some people don't have enough money so that they can go out to restaurants or theme parks everyday so one would probably resort to doing things at home like watching TV or going on the internet. Of course the more adventurous people would go outside with friends and find something free to do.
In an EMS you would probably go swimming or ice skating or other leisurely activities where you could enjoy yourself. Because you'll be getting a large sum of money you'll find support doing things like horseback riding or sky-diving. You'll be able to experience these types of things in life because what is considered basic income will be raised to a higher standard.
I suppose the EMS would be some sort of Utopia without the dreaded glass dome.
Well continuing on with jobs I wanted to add that jobs will be based on your choice initially. This means that you will be able to choose what job you want to be in based on availability of that job. But if push comes to shove and if there are people needed to fill in other jobs that are necessary like farming or the dreaded sewage then people will first be offered to take the job and then people will be involuntarily staffed there based on the location of the person.
Leisure jobs could be things like painting, being a musician, being a lifeguard on the beach, or doing massages. So in a nutshell there's a fun job for everybody in an equal money system.
Stay tuned for another part of Joe's Equal Money System ideas. Next I will be tackling healthcare!
Till next time.
