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.

Even if you kinda like your job, getting your schedule the week before doesn't allow you to make any plans for yourself.

If more people made wages that would afford them less stress, and some freedom to experience the beauty and joy that is in the world, they might hate their jobs less. Not everyone has a job they love. Everyone deserves wages that give them a quality of life.

That's why we need Universal Basic Income.
