Beautifully put and I agree with it all. Social enterprise — where we work for a social cause and profits go to that cause — are a start but of course Universal Basic Income is what I’m really wanting.
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.
You and me both! It's a relief to discover how much writing can help offset the horrors, but ultimately it just makes me want to fast-forward into whatever comes next after wage labor. Here's to the long slow work of birthing that better world ourselves.
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!
Good luck! Sometimes we gotta read/write our way out of the muck
True! Thank you.
Lots of food for thought here, Peter.
Thank you! Glad you found it engaging
