        interesting idea, if this were 1936. But there’s no chance those program *recipients* would vote for such changes #mypie

        Perhaps with #UBI ppl would work out of sincere passion & energy, not to make ends meet. Rat-race could die for good?..🤔

        This will only work if we also give them marijuana and downers to keep them pacified. Boredom will breed violence.
