This discussion revolved around trying to fix the system, but they don't understand that the system is working exactly as intended, it's not broken at all. Trillions of dollars get spent on making people poor, malnourished, ignorant, afraid, and divided every year. It's not a matter of adjusting a few dollars or putting the right policy into place. The system is actually being "improved" constantly, just not to our benefit. It takes billionaires and genius social engineers to make our nations this awful.

Interesting to hear how folks viewed UBI.

Having spent a great deal of time looking at this concept, and as someone living well below the poverty line, I'd enjoy genuinely debating this topic.

For example, the idea that people work less, and are content with what they get.

Why is that bad? What is wrong with simplicity? With being content?

In a world filled with broken people, having time to do nothing but heal is never a bad thing.

Guess I'll have to write a longer piece.

Thanks.
