    People should just be paid to exist at this point regardless of what they contribute.

    Most people are wholly incapable of doing for themselves so just give them subsistence money so they can sit in their house and not bother anybody else.

      I think that anyone who wants to contribute somehow in a positive way to their society, environment or country, should get enough money to have their basic needs fulfilled. Being it full-time or part-time work, volunteering or just helping out random people from time to time (pick trash alone somewhere and stuff).

      I don’t approve ending people’s lives because they create harm to others. Of course it’s a whole different thing when you compare a feared dictator who hates humankind versus someone who spends all their time trolling people out of their minds in the Internet just because of the lulz. But I don’t know, what would be a good solution in these or any other cases.
