@lemmy.worldWould that require unlimited resources and automation to guarantee that level of productivity ethically?
Who distributes these vouchers, and how? If everyone gets everything for free, what use are these vouchers?
Under that system, all leadership would be exclusive and homogeneous, as they would all be a part of some select leadership class, not unlike the nobility class of europe. Picking people from childhood and grooming them to be leaders is no guarantee that they will be good leaders. What do we do if someone is a bad leader in this sytem?
You have to put someone in charge of distributing the goods and services, set laws to make interactions between parties fair, and divy up resources, and remove/rehabilitate criminals, and that inherently creates a power imbalance. How do you suggest we keep the leaders beholden to the governed in this system so they dont abuse this power?
So labor vouchers are money that give special treatment to people who do undesirable tasks? Or are they forced upon people at random, like a temporary forced labor lottery?
If you abolish the monetary system, how do people acquire goods and services and get compensated for their labor?
I'm genuinely curious what you expect Biden should do other than ask Netanyahu and the leaders of Hamas to agree to a ceasefire? No shade what so ever. I just dont see what options he has to sway these two sovereign nations.
