   Relatedly, when people are talking about "productivity" or "contributing to society,"

   1. Your value as a human is not what you produce

   2. "Productivity" is something that can COME FROM being well cared-for, it is not a pre-requisite for "earning" care

   3. YOU are part of this society that is being contributed to. You are not outside it striving to "earn" your way in. You are already IT
