The job I love is me doing my hobbies, and occasionally selling something I make.
My hobbies do not pay the bills unless I spend metric shitloads of energy and time to promote myself, my products, and spend a similar amount of time actually involved in producing them.
For instance, one hobby is blacksmithing. Nobody cares about the regular stuff and mostly want knives. Happy to make them, I love it. But I work on them when I feel like it, they’re done when I decide they’re done, and if I don’t want to work on one for 6 months then I don’t.
Heck, I dropped $1300 on tools and raw materials in order to make a single knife I ended up selling for $300. Then I started 8 more knives with the remaining materials, and they’ve all sat in various stages of completion for about 9 months now.
It shouldn’t be expected to pay bills; the bills should be paid by some form of UBI, until they become redundant, allowing people to work on what they want

That doesn’t pay bills.

OK, but where does the UBI come from?
Where all government spending comes from.
