Capitalism gave them chronic pain from being overworked and capitalism gave them a drug peddling doctor that was payed to hook them on dope and capitalism gave them a nihilistic world view where life has no meaning beyond getting the next high. Coercion existed at every step of their "voluntary" decision to die from a drug overdose, but sure, no one had a gun put to their head.

Look up Rat Park. Yes, before you ask, we can observe this with humans as well.

I've done the math actually. You can make it work. The only problem is that developed countries have to do it within a short time of each other or the heavily taxed rich will flee.

UBI becomes feasible especially if there is very much automated work. If you really want a utopia you have to start there and automate everything so very few people have to work.
William Thompson
Capital needs labor to valorize itself fam. Even if a rapid automation raising productivity beyond what has been seen in recent decades and btw productivity has been low would only accelerate the falling rate of profit.

Gross. Seems like an opt-out system and a sudden disaster would be a good way for certain companies to make a lot of money.

Well this thread is still up. You could still do it. The real dollars would shrink though. You could afford to pay the people less because goods are so cheap. It's like saying because things are going to be so cheap that's why it will be too expensive.
