This was a good read, well put and framed in an uplifting way. Made for apt reading as I apply to a variety of grim and unrewarding positions!

I'm sure UBI will get implemented, probably soon. I'm also sure the capitalists will find a way around it, and we'll have to fight for the next best thing. But we can hope that enough of us come together in that struggle to change the system entirely.

Thank you so much for expressing, in a concise but complete piece of writing, the issues and affects many of us are experiencing. I'm so tired and dispirited, and this makes me want to not only brainstorm but enact as many alternatives as are within my power.
