RE: Ever wondered what your govt does with all the taxes you pay?
By placing online orders for delivery, or going to the warehouses and picking them up.
As long as the workers keep working everything available today is avaiable tomorrow.
Why wouldnt the workers continue to work when their wages just went from the minimum not to starve to anythig they desire?
Is not it paying?
Will they let you do it without payment?
Yes, the idea is to take money out of the equation.
If you need something, get it, but you need to put in your time producing things so others can have them, too.
With this proposal automation makes sense and doesnt force workers into the streets.
We simply keep doing the work while not paying for anything.
If one man produces milk and another man produces broccoli, and suppose that they even want to exchange, how will each one of them know how much of the other man's goods to demand?
There will be no demanding.
The broccoli guy takes his broccoli to the warehouse and picks up whatever he needs to continue his production.
The milk man the same.
The house builder, the truck driver, the miner, the refiner all continue like nothing has changed, except instead of worrying about his mortgage or cell phone bill everything is free.
Proudhon had a bank that functioned like this in france in the second half of the 1800's.
The french govt confiscated it because he had more money than the govt did.
Forget trading, value, and markets they dont exist in this paradigm.

Suppose the broccoli man wants as much milk as possible and the milk man wants as much broccoli as possible.
How do they settle on the exchange rate?
Even if you prevent them from meeting each other and use an intermediate like the warehouse/marketplace, there is still an exchange rate between milk and broccoli.
How is it set?
You are using an outdated methodology.
There is no setting of exchange rates as there are no exchanges.
If there is not enough broccoli to meet demand more resources are put into broccoli production.
If there is broccoli rotting on the shelves, less production.
Most production is automated under this paradigm.
There is only so much broccoli desired in the world.
Production is distributed to minimize waste and shipping resource demands.
Production is managed to meet demand and responsible stocking levels to mitigate against natural disasters.
Instead of asking if the huricane devastated area has enough money to buy, we just send them what they need and adjust production to match the increased demand.
Substitute anything for broccoli.
Maseratis, iphones, shoes, toilet paper, whatever.
Production falls on those between 20 and 50.
After 50 do what you please, including continuing to produce, if you so desire, otherwise suck mai tais in tahiti if that is your thing.
Before 20, prepare for your productive years.
