What kind of result do you think we would see? Honest question.
Would it motivate people to take jobs that are "beneath" them and increase productivity, or would people just riot, steal, and starve in the streets?
The reason is, I see a few unemployed people around me that are perfectly content sitting around waiting for a GOOD job to come up, and refusing to take an hourly gig to make a little money, since unemployment pays better. I wonder if folks these days are overestimating their value in the workforce.
