    What are we going to do about the fact that Technology continues to kill more jobs than it creates, and is starting to do so at a faster rate.

    Yeah, that is a big deal.

    There isnt enough livable wage paying jobs left to allow everyone access to proper food and housing.

    For starters I think that minimum wages are too low in North America. Anybody working full time should be able to afford a place to live without roommates. Housing cannot be an investment vehicle if we want it to be affordable.

    If people are freed from being forced to work to pay their bills, more people would ve free to volunteer

    Some pensioners do some volunteering, but on average the amount they contribute to society is a small fraction of what they did when they were working full time. Society needs enough full time workers to fund the ongoing cost of a first-world nation.
