   @freemo @RyanbeLyin @scottsantens To add to that - layoffs are actually fairly recent as a thing historically ( https://www.thestar.com/news/insight/the-history-of-the-layoff/article_8963c1b1-3903-5ec7-a9df-fca08b13ee6f.html ) - the best you see is military discharging, and *even the Romans* had an idea for supporting those who couldn't go back to their previous job; they invented the welfare system.

   To some extent, welfare is just "Insufficient UBI.", so we essentially already *do* it, just...intentionally cruelly?
