Let me set the scene for you Its 2035 and anyone sitting at a desk you just got told to pack up and go sleep on the streets. But not really! The government is here to save you! Wipe your tears, we’re gonna give you and all your unemployed friends a handsome £12,000 (UK) to shut your mouths and smile, and believe or not thats coming each and every year! So you get back on your feet, look at the 12 bags in your fist and realize “hey i cant do nothing with this, and your telling me thats it, i cant even work to get more!” But as time goes on you settle in to your life of “luxury” as people join you year after year, untill something starts to change… The government is slowly realising that the entire population is costly and redundant, with very little power to sway the choices (no strikes, riots and marches are of lesser and lesser detriment with easier cleanup). All this whilst the gov is at the complete whim of business and corporations providing the tech and goods as the fewer and fewer companies hold almost all global stock. Funding for the public dwindles as govs scramble to please the corporate elites. Something in you just snaps, your not okay with this any more, you want some purpose in your life and you want your choices back, so you march out the door and realize your not alone, and you all conclude you got two options, join one of the growing number of crime syndicates or join the revolution. Thanks for reading and bear in mind, this scenario is if governments are able to adapt quick enough to job loss. submitted by /u/Still-Crow-7372
