When this happens, we will need to rethink how our economy is structured or face revolution. This article outlines the problem clearly and presents an elegant solution: the creation of a central account to make sure all citizens retain a living wage, whether employed or not.

Most people seem to believe that corporations supply people with jobs rather than believe that individuals create jobs. I think a lot of people would love to be their own bosses but I don’t think it even occurs to them that they could be.
