I just boosted "I think that the biggest reason I believe that we need universal basic income is so that people always have an out.

Long Covid has kinda put "chronic illness" on the map.

@Katja I feel like with my anger issues and no abilities or knowledge that can be used to make profit, II have no future after I graduate high school next year
