I was once talking with one of my classmates and he said that in the future, there will be universal basic income implemented by entire world. I was not convinced at that time and thought he is just being stupid but given the layoffs happening and massive amount of unemployment, I am thinking about this possibility. What do you say?

    plenty of people find satisfaction from doing that sort of thing. i know i do. problem is - i just can’t afford the risk of devoting all of time to that right now, because there’s no guarantee for my financial security.

    i also make my own maple syrup, and keep bees. would raise chickens, if my local bylaws weren’t so outdated.

    and i never claimed that I would be doing it for 10K people. where’d ya get that number from?
