1. If you mean they should do jobs for the money . That would undercut the people doing those jobs
2. You can't live on raking leaves, mowing a lawn, or washing a cars . And what's the point of said requirement.
Were already experimenting with this in Ontario
Like I said before, it's either going to be a small amount, which one could get just as easily by doing simple jobs that always need done, or it's going to be a large amount, meaning what's the point of busting my ass making $450 a week at a factory, when the government's going to send me a check for that or more for nothing?
One, factory jobs suck, so unless you enjoy the work, leave it to the machines, lol. Better to do something you enjoy doing instead and that would contribute to society in some way. Nothing about this whole scheme necessitates that one stay idle and do nothing in life.
