Comment on If a universal basic income started today with the stipulation that you had to put 40 hrs/wk towards making the world a better place or solving societal problems, how would you spend your time?

Welp. I don’t know if I’m capable of working to begin with my chronic illness. I’m unemployed currently and it’s not even manageable at home, I’ve been in hospital twice in a month. And I’ve been having a flare up of it since January. So most two seasons so far.

I wish the system gave you more space to easily do this. I know people who are pinched between recovery and work and it’s inhumane not to let them take a break. The system doesn’t recognize that we have to take care of our own health and basic needs before we can maximize our helpfulness to others.
