      a 1500monthly UBI would be life changing to a lot of people.

      and probably allow people to meet basic needs if they cracked down on corporate greed and its fake inflation.

        The inflation isn’t “fake” and it’s not a result of greed. The greed has always been there, during periods of hyperinflation and during periods of stability.

        The thing that changed is the competition, which naturally counterbalances the greed, has been reduced during the pandemic.

        It’s not exactly a lot of money, but I would definitely stop working the stupid delivery job and just focus on education if I had that.

            I meant I’d keep working in education, but I would also keep seeking education of all sorts. IT and science mainly.
