What if everyone selects that option?
John Sexton:
It's all a bit vague but I'd say this sounds like an endorsement of European social democracy. The problem, of course, is that that's not what the most popular socialist on the scene is promoting. As Jazz noted earlier today, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez seems to be envisioning a future in which work is optional. I’m not sure what that is but it's somewhere to the left of communism. Under communism, you were expected to work for your government check, even if the work was sweeping dust from one side of the street to the other and back again.Of course, the answer is that the no-work option would only be available to certain favored individuals and groups chosen by people like Ocasio-Cortez in the regime. The rest of us would be forced to provide for them.
