People who are forced to work at jobs they hate, desperate to keep that job even though it robs them of life-force more than it pays them in money, who nevertheless need it because it is the only way to survive, are in a very real way not free.

Knowing this, it's surprising u didn't go all out supporting Yang and UBI (instead, turning to a curmudgeon and subsequently becoming one yourself at times). What's more important than people's sense of freedom? Money represents freedom and UBI raises the floor. Key to change

Welcome to the real world LOL If that wasn't the way it worked, nothing would get done though. Ever seen Dirty Jobs? All that miserable work needs to get done by somebody, and if there weren't people willing to do it to survive, it wouldn't get done.

What this does to your psyche, should be in the DSM. This is actually a serious conversation, I think we need to have. Millions suffer every day, almost unable to get out of bed, because they hate their lives so much. It robs us of our soul. 馃尡

Life is slavery to your body's needs. Who can create something from nothing?
