Why not just whisper into the ears of some ambitious pols and economists to declare that the new definition of full time work is 15-20 hours per week and rapidly increase both leisure time and employment? Then you could implement the dividend and discount simultaneously, make the combined purchasing power of those two mechanisms approaching a middle class income, condition the populous to leisure and freedom (the latter of which as this thread shows can actually be a little scary…although I think most people would rapidly navigate and adapt to it positively), enable us to embrace AI and technical innovation without having to worry about employment and actually push the vector of the economy toward freedom and free flowingness.

Of course this new definition of “full” employment would be optional so that if you were making upward of $50-60k year full time you could also choose to continue working 40+ per week and also receive your dividend and discounts. But if you were flipping burgers etc. you would immediately go from lower economic class to a solidly middle class income. And of course the economy would roar on all cylinders.

Okay. I would add that if you integrated a change in the idea of “full time employment” to 15-20 hrs/week  along with the dividend and discount you could also rapidly re-industrialize the West in a high tech and efficient economic way because number one there would then be no employment trade off problem, and the jobs created by such re-industrialization while utilizing much less employment than traditionally produced, would still be more than without such. This would decentralize globalization and ought (rationally) encourage China and other export platforms to adopt the policies of Social Credit as an adaptation to America and other western economies doing so.

There IS an awakening taking place, but it still does not recognize the importance of the Discount. Also, amazingly Douglas is absent from the economists sired by these well meaning and nascent social crediters.  We must not let Douglas be buried in the dust bin of history when he deserves to be at the top of the pantheon.
