Future of Work in an Automated WorldSEGMENT 1: What happens when work becomes optional?

In this episode of Over Fifty Starting Over, we explore a bold thought experiment:

👉 If the government announced limitless renewable energy and guaranteed everyone’s basic needs—food, housing, and transportation—would people still choose to work?

We dig into real data from UBI studies, the Alaska dividend, and post-pandemic labor trends to answer: How many people would keep working, and why? Would addiction and apathy rise—or could we build a calmer, more creative world? What “purpose infrastructure” could make a free society thrive instead of collapse?

🪖 Memphis residents react to National Guard patrols after violent outbreaks—many say they finally feel safe.

💸 And the real story behind the reported $40 billion Argentina bailout—$20 billion from the IMF, and $20 billion from the U.S. Treasury. Is it stabilization, strategy… or another hedge-fund favor? A grounded conversation on economics, automation, and what freedom really means.
