Shetterly’s post responds to arguments that a basic income should be contingent on people registering for jobs that they must take if asked. He points out that basic income needs to be considered separately from welfare and to be implemented with minimal administration. He argues there simply are not enough jobs available for everyone and that 100% employment is impossible without creating pointless jobs.
