Infinite Life: Trapped in a lifetime

68 years,

China has issued several more measures.

First, it was announced in March that special funds would be allocated to

It is used to increase the proportion of residents’ monthly medical insurance costs that are borne by the government.

In the process of rapid productivity growth in the past few decades, the government has already paid a certain proportion of residents’ monthly medical insurance costs.

This moment has only increased that ratio further.

It also announced that it is expected to achieve comprehensive, free, and still efficient medical care within five to ten years.

That is, the monthly medical insurance costs will be fully borne by the official.

In the same month, some people proposed that the retirement age of fifty should be lowered in one step and further lowered.

More, retirees will replace the unemployed who may be replaced by artificial intelligence.

Some people propose to continue lowering the age limit to forty years old.

Some people suggest that different people simply choose their retirement age within the age range of fifty.

And they also made quite rigorous calculations, saying that every time the retirement age is lowered by one year, what proportion of people can be prevented from being affected by the changes brought about by artificial intelligence.

However, retiring at the age of forty is really an exaggeration.

This proposal has not been followed up for the time being.

but,

This exaggerated plan was not passed.

It doesn’t mean that there aren’t other exaggerated measures being issued.

In the following April,

Regarding pension insurance, it was announced above that together with medical insurance,

Allocate funds specifically to increase the proportion borne by the government,

If there are college or graduate students studying, the full amount will be paid by the official.

At the same time, it was announced that it is expected to complete a comprehensive pension insurance within ten years, and the pension insurance will be fully borne by the government.

Then,

In June of the same year,

Regarding the minimum wage standard, it was announced that it would be raised again.

At this time, the minimum wage standard has been completely unified throughout China.

It is required that the monthly salary paid to individuals by all units and private enterprises must be above the minimum wage.

After that, July, August, September.

It was quiet for a while up there.

Then,

By October,

Then he threw out another king bomb.

This is an initiative officially named ‘unemployment protection and benefits’.

The core content is,

If the Chinese within the scope of China,

Unemployment occurs.

During the period of unemployment, the government will provide monthly living allowances based on 80% of the increased minimum monthly wage.

At the same time, the relevant insurance will be paid in full by the official.

If you choose to study for further study after losing your job, you will be paid 100% of the minimum wage every month.

In other aspects, it is the same as attending a normal university, with tuition and accommodation fees free of charge, or accommodation and living expenses subsidies provided.

And the longest period of time for receiving subsidies,

It is a full two years. If you choose to study for further study during this period, it will be postponed until the end of your studies.

Of course, more importantly,

When the above-mentioned officials issued this measure, they also announced that it would be a temporary measure within five years.

In five years, or after the popularization of artificial intelligence technology, the time for receiving unemployment insurance and subsidies will be further extended.

After this extremely impactful measure was issued,

Also jokingly called the ‘rice bug clause’.

This kind of generous terms is enough for people to lose their jobs and live in peace, even if they don't have to do anything, they won't starve to death.

However, when the above-mentioned measures were issued, they obviously made precise calculations.

With the money you can receive from the living allowance after unemployment, you can live your life.

It's not very tight, and it's not very relaxed either.

Be able to eat and sleep normally, enjoy basic entertainment, and be able to afford some moderately expensive consumption.

But for at least 30% of people in this era, the quality of life must have declined to varying degrees.

After losing his job, he chose to study further.

The total amount of money that can be received every month from all aspects can probably lead to a more comfortable life.

However, if you want to live a luxurious life, obviously you still don’t have to think about it.

And from the Internet to reality,

Various sociologists, economists, and even philosophers have expressed their opinions on this measure and the upcoming huge social changes.

A lively and in-depth discussion took place.

There were also many ordinary people who joined in with great interest.

"...Let me think about it, I am 35 years old now, and my wife is the same age as me. If we are voluntarily unemployed and receive two years of living allowance first, we also have a child. Families with children can still get extra money every month. Receiving a subsidy will be enough to support our family over the years.

After two years, my wife and I will take the postgraduate entrance examination, and then get a Ph.D., and postpone graduation for ten years, no problem. After finishing the studies, my wife and I will be forty-seven, and we will soon retire again..."

"It's over, stop talking. I'm already a little excited, a little ready to move, and I'm lying down like a rice bug."

Except for those who want to lie down directly,

Naturally, some people are worried that this measure will reduce the vitality of the entire society.

Affect the atmosphere of the entire society.

Even after the era of artificial intelligence, productivity no longer requires humans to do repetitive production work and can meet the needs of most people's lives.

But it is impossible for everyone to do nothing.

In that case, how can society progress?

If you don’t work, you can live a normal life.

Is it unfair or has a negative impact on people who work hard?

To this end, China News Service also published a commentary article that month,

It is titled ‘Are our minds ready for an era when productivity is truly liberated? ’

Some other official media,

It also published articles such as "From distribution according to work to distribution according to need" and "After getting rid of the problem of survival, can we only be driven by our ideas and strive for our cause? Can we do it?" ’

However, in this lively discussion,

There are not many people who really oppose this measure.

after all,

If artificial intelligence technology is fully popularized, a large amount of surplus labor must be arranged.

There is no better way than smoothing out this impact with high benefits.

In addition, with such high benefits, it is difficult for most people to raise any objections, and most people do not really like working every day.

And such ultra-high benefits can be regarded as a miracle that can only be born in this era of explosive productivity.

at last,

A basic consensus reached through intense discussions among all parties is that,

This kind of high welfare is actually nothing. On the basis of the minimum wage, there are more things worth pursuing.

In the coming era, if you are willing to work harder, there will still be directions to work towards and beautiful things to pursue.

If you don't want to, then just support him with basic welfare.

…

While the entire society is making advance preparations for the completion of the Suigu Plan,

The Suigu plan of the Qiusuo Research Institute has not stopped. On the contrary, as the scale of the lunar industry continues to expand,

The construction of the Suigu Plan is also continuing to accelerate.

In the same year, Qiusuo Research Institute made further attempts to use the Suigu intelligence born in the Suigu Project.

Originally responsible for mineral mining on the lunar surface,

All were handed over to Suigu Intelligence.

Suigu, relying on its huge computing power, directly followed the overall goal issued by the lunar surface base,

Various intelligent mining equipment that control the lunar surface, as well as further modified machinery,

Continue to complete all mining of lunar minerals.

Complete the entire process from overall target splitting, mining area selection and exploration, mining plan formulation, actual mining, post-mining transportation, and preliminary processing.

In the field of lunar mineral mining, complete unmanned operation has been achieved.
