Fiercely liberal, unabashedly nerdy. Cantankerous, mouthy, and defiant. Too many pets (as if!). LGBTQ+ ally and safe space. Fuck intolerance! "Your life is yours alone. Rise up and live it." Just a big bird, hello. No relation to Creepy Dave. Okay, BYE.

One full-time job should be enough to THRIVE. Universal basic income and no job should be enough to SURVIVE. That's what jobs should be about, not working to exist but working for all the fun stuff beyond the avoidance of starvation. That is until automation advances enough to warrant FT-level UBI.

Terry Pratchett once said, "Stupid men are often capable of things the clever would not dare to contemplate." In the age of Trump, this rings more true than ever. Too fucking dumb and brazen to know better. A rational system cannot deal with the kind of mind that just does what one does not do.

Unconditional basic income would be a compassionate system. No more conditions. No more tests. Provide a base amount of income to all as a foundational floor to make sure no one ever goes without what they need to simply stay alive.

Can't stop laughing at this. 😂 #meme #memes #funny
