UBI is still in the stage of policy where people feel the need to only commit to "trials" to gather "evidence". Credit where credit is due for pushing it forward tbh E: '97 - its blair time lol jiggerypokery fucked around with this message at 18:41 on May 16, 2021 |

Ravel posted:If you have an adverse reaction to your second dose, don't use your annual leave. That is the definition of a sick day. Yeah, but if I go sick unexpectedly we end up in real trouble, whereas planned days we can work around. There are five people who work in my pharmacy and two of em are on long-term sick so we're on a knife edge. I'll take a sick day tomorrow if I have to but I'm still annoyed about it. e: also we use the Bradford Measure so if I have three instances of absence in a rolling year I get called into a meeting and I have my job threatened so you know

Does anyone have any good reading on Universal [thing] as a step away from the musical-chairs world of the jobs market as the only way of surviving? I'm seeing more liberals cottoning on to the fact that maybe the total amount of work that needs doing doesn't necessarily match up with [40h/week] x [total working age population], and talking about UBI as a result. Pitfalls I can see are: - Setting the level way too low - Scrapping all other benefits, including needs-related disability ones - Unregulated housing market sucking up the UBI, leaving things functionally the same (but with no benefits, see above) Meanwhile MMT people are keen on the UJG (universal jobs guarantee), which I guess is attractive to the "rah money for nothing" crowd, and there are definitely things the government could be paying people to be doing, but it sounds a bit too much like "work=good" to me. Works well as an automatic stabiliser during the regular downturns of capitalism though - plus in a pandemic the government can say "your job this month is to stay and home and not cough on people". And we've talked about UB services before too, which I like because the landlords can't take them, and we have accepted precedent in the NHS. I'd love to learn more about these things from a leftist perspective, if anyone's got any material.

The notion of a "jobs guarantee" is extremely suspect to me because we already have it and it's called workfare.

OwlFancier posted:The notion of a "jobs guarantee" is extremely suspect to me because we already have it and it's called workfare. That too. It may be over-optimistic of the UJG proponents to imagine a non-evil government that will pay a good wage to do necessary public works, to anyone that wants a job, rather than forcing people to work for private companies in order to receive their sub-minimum-wage benefits. Or to hope the former won't morph into the latter over time. Bobstar fucked around with this message at 19:39 on May 16, 2021 |

Bobstar posted:Does anyone have any good reading on Universal [thing] as a step away from the musical-chairs world of the jobs market as the only way of surviving? I don't have any handy links to a lit review of the whole thing that I would call good, but on this topic, I feel that for context and sense-motive reasons, it may make it easier to understand where the Randall Wrays of the world are coming from if one also knows that that the sheer fury of the UBI-vs-UJG argument has its roots in 1970s-vintage Keynesian wars over the causes of stagflation (to wit, whether it would have been sufficient to 'cap and trade' inflation, or whether detailed indicative planning was required - hinging on one's embedded understanding of where wage-price spirals and cost-push pressures are really coming from) In both, regardless, the message is usually not that there is not enough work to go around but that there is enough work to go around and an endemic market failure in not matching people to do said work: that it is a grotesque moral horror that society's collective economic response to a massive unexpected fall in its lifetime income (i.e., in a recession) could ever be to do even less work (by having more people out of the employed labour force, with associated human suffering from privation. That is, having less stuff). UBI studies, especially older ones, usually emphasize how much they don't impact work incentives conversely, the universal-services moment is a more recent one and rests explicitly on the supposed superiority of the political defensibility of such programmes in the long-term; the zero-marginal-product-worker concern from automation is also the fruit of a somewhat more recent set of concerns (not especially business cycles). because they're different, and because their core impulses pull in opposite directions, there's a lot of churn and inconsistency out there ronya fucked around with this message at 20:09 on May 16, 2021 |

I care about my immediate colleagues, and about me not getting yelled at by some middle-aged shitstain who thinks howling 'but you said it would be here on Tuesday' will somehow make me able to produce out-of-stock medication out of my arse. I care about getting the job done so the elderly, vulnerable people I supply the meds for don't end up with nothing. This sucks and is a way the company is taking advantage of our compassion but it's not easy to ignore. I'm so close to burnout. If I could survive without this loving job I would kick it into the sun.
