"The sheer complexity of the benefits system, lack of public awareness of what support is available for households, and fear of being perceived by others as 'benefit scroungers' all contribute to the high level of unclaimed or underclaimed benefits."

@PermResInitDet@doomfrog4 Blanketly rejecting all technology is a weird hangup. We have tools to solve problems, make life easier, generate more with less. You're not going to convince the world to stop using technology en masse, & it's not necessary. Should we stop doing surgery??
Huge strawman indeed.
The elephant in the room? 3,000,000,000+ economic net loss #bullshitjobs. That have absolutely nothing to do with an economy. That turned our "economy" into a giant wealth-to-numbers converter.

The labor movement needs to come to recognize how important universal basic income is to workers, all workers, paid and unpaid, right now and in our more automated future. UBI is bargaining power. It is strike power. It recognizes unpaid care. #MayDay

This is what McDonald's goal should be. Full automation with as few human workers as possible. Utilize robots to make a Big Mac as cheaply as possible. Compete with other fast food options based on price.
And the labor movement should demand UBI. #MayDay

Few realise that Australia is adding over 1,500 every day to it's #population-
this is mass destruction for profit for the few, by stealth.
This agenda not declared pre-election.
@scottsantens The human ego can't come to terms that they won't be on top of the food chain for very long if AI reaches and exceeds it's full potential and expectations
@PermResInitDet@doomfrog4 The sensible use of technology doesn't imply dependence, and the ability to continually invent and discover more efficient and sustainable ways to make complex tools, generate energy, observe reality, meet needs and do work with less resource use is, duh a good thing
