The prisoners having nothing left to do but examine the walls of their cell These are velociraptors testing the fences for weakness If you give them a universal income they will have no distractions left, not even their awful (vanishing) jobs Scratch. Scratch. Scratch.

Let's hope it is a success. I love the way this is such a nonviolent, clever campaign to get retribution.
