Wednesday was the first day of a $55 million experiment to test whether cash payments can protect children from the toxic stress of poverty.

    Abuse as in, someone being paid for work they didn’t do? That’s… literally what UBI is lol

    I will say that, while I prefer domestic and reproductive labor being compensated, I acknowledge it’s not a simple problem. It would work in a highly communal society where people have very little time to themselves, since we’d all just see each other doing a good job. It would also work in a mass surveillance society since we’d all be watched 24/7, but that’s not exactly good lol

    UBI is fine. I’m just grumpy because its not perfectly fair.
