This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.
Be warned:
- Anon is often crazy.
- Anon is often depressed.
- Anon frequently shares thoughts that are immature, offensive, or incomprehensible.
If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

The profit incentive is toxic to creativity. Try to imagine how much cultural value is lost every single day because of no UBI and having to worry about a survival job.
That.applies evrywhere, theres a.quasi famous quote from somone whose name escapees me, that opined they arent so muvh worried about the intracties of Einstein's brian but the fact so many like it have had to work below minimum wage jobs picking starberries in fields just to survive and humanities future has been robbed becase of it.
Evil is banal.
No question that it's a lot. The cost of a UBI would probably be more though, ($500/month/capita, maybe? $ 2.1 trillion per annum for the USA).
There isn't a set in stone amount of UBI for it to be called that. Even $100/mo would be UBI.
the "B" stands for basic, as in basic needs, $100/mo would not cover the average americans rent, let alone other basic needs. You're looking for Universal stipend/Guarenteed Minimum Income/Citizens dividend or other related concept
Is that a fun conversation for you? What are we after right now? I don't get it.
