I had to deal with some guy at work trying to do some tiktok video and including me in it so I could complement his side gig or some shit (and likely only including me because women get views). And if I complain too much about being included in their grift everyone will shit on me for being a karen or for not helping him with it. Jesus fucking christ, I hate people that try to constantly plaster their face and name on everything to make money. Fuck youtubers, fuck tiktok, fuck ads, stop stealing peoples work for a quick buck 'by doing commentary', leave me the fuck alone

So the people that work really hard fund those that don't feel like working. Seems like a great deal. For some people

    It is a great deal. For everybody.

    Or would you prefer a billionaire's monopoly collapsing the economy and everybody starved and enslaved in bullshit jobs?

    Sorry if that's an accidental false dichotomy. What's a middle-ground alternative you propose?

    UBI tests have shown people are enabled to do more, and do not just sit around because they "don't feel like working". Most work is already unpaid (and unrecognised as work). This simply remedies that.

    I prefer taxing the Uber wealthy like we did before Reagan. If you're in a bullshit job that's your fault. Especially in this day of free knowledge and education. Learn a skill.
