I agree with everything you say. I have a real job and have worked my entire life... I have never once been laid off of without work. I make a very nice 6 figure income. But the fact of the matter is I am an artist. My passion is making art but I have never been able to make a living through my paintings so I need to work 8 hours a day managing very large Projects. If I had a Universal Basic Income I could stop working at my job and paint and travel... soon I will get my Pension (after 30 years of continuous work) it will be more than enough to finally paint and travel... I just hope I can remain healthy enough to do so... do you see ? With a universal basic income I could have done this 30 years ago when I was very healthy.
