I'm all for a UBI. Then I can quit my day job and "do whatever I want" instead. Including saving the world. Case in point just the other day I sat down and calculated, because my state legislature hasn't expanded medicaid, I still need to make "x" thousand dollars per year to qualify for obamacare subsidies. What does this mean? Because we have several children, it's a non trivial amount. The result? I will be keeping my day job, and working 8-5, instead of working part time and living off the dole. Come on, government, fund me! Don't hold back! I don't want to work! Who's with me? Raise the pitch forks and torches! :) (I wish I were kidding, but I really did do that calculating...)
