> People who want to work use it to find the work that’s best for them, paid or unpaid, and those who work a bit less focus on everything else in their lives of more importance than overwork. I'm particularly interested in this. I like working -- I like it a lot... but, I don't think everyone should have to do it, nor should _anyone_ have to put up with a terrible job because it's the only thing that can pay their bills. I like working especially in my field because I feel I can really do something impactful. I understand that not everyone feels that way about their jobs. I feel that UBI would allow more people to chase those things that would help them feel impactful. > ... I was blown away that crime dropped by 42% in Namibia while entrepreneurship quadrupled ... Holy shit. _This_ is what I want my taxes to go toward. Not the military industrial complex, not the prison industrial complex. I want my tax money to go toward improving the lives of people in need. I pay a lot in taxes. I wish my neighbor could have some of it. We do, in fact, live in a society. |
