Take 50 million people out of the workforce, you cripple the economy. Will never work, not in our system, that is, unless you are willing to sacrifice your standard of living, pushing it back to the 1800's.
Lousy parenting. It's not the daycare providers and schools. It's parenting.
I thought liberals were willing to sacrifice the economy for the sake of "the children"?
The reality is that capitalism rewards greed above all else. There is no denying that.
Capitalism rewards success above all. Socialism rewards greed - give me my "stuff", and I don't care who you have to tax to get the money to pay for it.
mwruckman has a good point. What happens to the economy when the unpaid AI designs the parts the unpaid 3D printer produces and the unpaid robot assembles? Who or what is going to pay for the production? This is the eventual development of the automation of industry.
The only jobs left will be service jobs that do not produce sellable goods but more comfortable, healthier and independent humans unchained form having to spend most of their lives producing things for others. The only example of such a system is the society and economy occupied by our own Leisure Class that lives off the money created by others. What would a society where most of the population did not have to work but could effectively live on a very generous dole with enough money to purchase the services of the few that either liked the work or wanted more then they receive by doing nothing?
We're pretty close to that now...with 47 million on welfare and food stamps and half the population paying no FIT.

Correct! And socialism steals from thrifty workers to support greedy leeches.
Socialism steals from thrifty workers to pay for the greedy leaches that own the Military to steal resources from other people to make the plutocrats ever wealthier. Sometimes (Iraq) they are other countries plutocrats (Britian). Crony Capitalism even steals from the Plutocrats as well as everyone else.
Like I said the kids have figured out the system and are taking it for all they can. Just like you.

Which Capitalism, and rewards for who
If it's the Ass, I mean Alexander Hamilton kind, I want nothing to do with it:
He loved corporate welfare, protectionist tariffs, central banking,
AND public debt
