There have been so many studies of an Unconditional Basic Income showing that it encourages, rather than discourages employment. People who believe otherwise are probably speaking from their inability to keep the destitute employees they select for.

@charlotteclymer “fun” Thanksgiving conversation w/ the in-laws re: #NobodyWantsToWork. They are all-in on everyone but them being lazy wimps. The countless instances of customer service workers being abused by adults are not real to them. Not as real as the many fox “news” talking points they believe with no proof. I try to gently explain to them the customer service environment is a lot different now vs the 60s or even pre-COVID. Nope, everyone else (not them) is just lazy.
