100%. Severely reduce outsized executive pay and investor profits, and only let people work half as much. Everyone gets a 3 day work week. Company can now hire almost double the amount of people if they want to stay open :p

Or, excess profit goes into a universal basic income type fund.

Either way, relying on everyone having a job is not a long-term solution. There simply aren’t enough actually good jobs, and expecting most people to work shitty jobs isn’t great.
