I am far more supportive of this idea than UBI. Employ anybody that wants a job.

The world needs to plant billions of trees to capture carbon. Lets start with that!

We then need alternate energy sources.

We also need heaps more fresh water so that farmers don't have to take it out of the environment. Lets build desalination plants everywhere!

So many great infrastructure ideas staring us right in the face, and now we have lots of people sitting at home and need something to do!
