😀 Tom Universal Basic Income is the hot topic right now, but what I think would be better instead, is a paid 2-3 month vacation every year. I think that a lot of the benefits that UBI supposedly touts, can probably be achieved with a real break from work, and without giving up work altogether. This way, people can still be incentivized to work, but still have the ability to persue other creative endeavors.
🏒 Lucian Marin This is exactly what I want. Three months will be perfect on working on projects like Sublevel. But I don't think we will get free money. We still have to work on something.

Mark Dain I used to think of UBI as "paying people to exist" which I can understand is sort of weird and reeks of communism, but if you consider millions being unemployed permanently due to a lack of jobs, the economy is going to be in a lot of trouble. Either we just move to a post-money society, or we give everyone some money so they can continue buying/selling/etc. I'd like to hope most people would use their new time and freedom to work full time on projects they love.

🏒 Lucian Marin Or we're going to invent new jobs, like a Facebook cleaner for or anything that now seems trivial but we lack motivation or time to do it ourselves.
