   Another successful Universal Basic Income study. There was no drop in productiveness "On average, study participants worked 40 hours a week and stayed in employment" “We find no evidence that people love doing nothing,” instead "their lives were “more valuable and meaningful” and felt a clear improvement in their mental health" since poverty is on purpose to keep us feeling stressed and beaten so we don't fight back #1984book

     Communism is never successful.

     Unless you enjoy eating your cats and dogs to temporarily avoid starvation...

     While I am a huge proponent of Universal Basic Income, I think we are dancing around the edges of a reality we need to face head on: the concept that your job gives your life meaning.

     This is a curiously protestant thing. We really need to diversify what, in our lives, gives it meaning, and start valorizing others instead of just employment.
