Be successful little man
Corporate greed
I work in a very niche field. My boss left to take another position elsewhere, and they offered me the boss’s job for an insulting salary. Part of that job I’m not even qualified to do, and I told them as much and that I thought they would have a very difficult time finding anyone qualified and willing to take it at the current salary range. I did tell them if they took the one piece of the job out that I’m not qualified for, and raised the pay to X salary, I’d happily take it. Fast-forward a few months, and they sit me back down and say they’ve been cold-calling people and getting turned down. The people they’re calling keep recommending ME, which is super validating, but I’m not at all inclined to take it unless the one piece that I (literally, seriously) am not qualified for is removed…

On mental health
With $1000 basic income a month, realistically you can work 20 hour week instead of 40 and be fine. If you live in a cheap area, you can go without working at all. This is the dream and end goal of anti work, no? In any other society, especially communism, you have to work to survive. I dont wanna live in a world with suicide nets under iphone factories or be shot for refusing to be a conscript in the army. A basic income every month is vitaly needed to keep the economy running and live in this inflation-ran system. The US only imports and exports very little. If an economic collapse does happen due to hyper inflation, the US will have to become self dependent. As of today, the fiat currency that is not backed by gold or anything IS the gold. All countries trade with the…
