A check every month without doing nothing

The Swiss will vote next Sunday about a check every month to every soul ? 

why? People are realizing that in the automated world you only need 20% or 30% of the world population to work in order to have everything we need.  If you have a machine that cooks and cleans your house why hire a house maid? I think the world is not yet prepared but it will come.

you have to sustain people , because they are not needed anymore? it's a big big problem. Perhaps a cheaper and less problematic solution is to pay a check only for people above 60 years old. This way the labor market would not be impacted.



Work, as Lawrence Katz of Harvard once pointed out, is not just what people do for a living. It is a source of status. It organizes people’s lives. It offers an opportunity for progress. None of this can be replaced by a check.

Balanced life ? not possible

There is a concept known as The Four Burners Theory. Here’s how it was first explained to me:
Imagine that your life is represented by a stove with four burners on it. Each burner symbolizes one major quadrant of your life.
1.     The first burner represents your family.
2.    The second burner is your friends.
3.    The third burner is your health.
4.    The fourth burner is your work.
The Four Burners Theory says that "in order to be successful you have to cut off one of your burners. And in order to be really successful you have to cut off two." [1]

This is obviously true, if you are one of the best in the world in anything you leave some (many) areas of your life behind.

You can't do the 4 successfully at the same time. My advice is to concentrate when you work you work really hard and leave behind the other 3 a bit, when you do sports do it for real. when you are with your family & kids don't multitask.

that is my strategy, when i am doing something i concentrate everything on that area we don't have time do all at the same time.
