Albistea: Pope Francis in Genoa: Work essential to human flourishing2
“It is necessary, therefore, to look fearlessly and a sense of responsibility on the technological transformations of the economy and of life, he said, “without resigning ourselves to the ideology that seems to be gaining a foothold wherever one looks, which envisions a world in which only a half or maybe two-thirds of employable people actually work, and the others maintained with a welfare cheque.”
“It must be clear,” Pope Francis continued, “that the true objective to reach is not ‘income for all’ but ‘work for all’.”

Agreed, but ask him if he’d rather have his children be factory workers or software engineers.

Policy need only provide a funding channel for the always unlimited things people want done- alwys more to do than people to do it.
