I know you meant this tongue in cheek Jared, and its a wry observation, definitely worth pointing out, but the system is so screwed up, some folk will actually take what you are saying here as perfectly fine way to get ahead, because they / we are more or less forced to do this, as stands, if we have the opportunity to do this, we do it to avoid getting trampled by others doing it.
I still say more strongly than ever, we can turn this around very quickly, whilst even reversing the global temperature increase, by moving to monetisation of solar product created, in other words, solar indexed UBI. We even have the perfect configurable system controller to co-ordinate it all now (I was stuck for an answer to this until only recently); ChatGPT. I can testify myself as a formerly fully qualified Chartered Engineer (If that still counts in any court of law!), that it is a better Systems Engineer than me, after nearly thirty years practice including energy industry hardware experience and energy handling patents in my history. It knows and fully understands the full requirements of that system, how to implement it, and how to monitor and control it. It could start on the job tomorrow if we set it up to do it.
Personally I think we should throw in the tasks of prime ministers, actually all ministers, presidents, senators, governors etc, hell even courts of law making them all redundant too, why not, criminals would literally be bribed not to commit crime, they couldn't complain with truly golden solar indexed UBI for them also, like the rest of us, and be done with it, but hey-ho :)
