As yet another UBI trial rolls past showing that it works really well, it's hard not to conclude that the main reason nobody adopts it is because bad employers don't want to give up their leverage over the desperate and poor to work in shit conditions for pittance.
I've had this idea for a few days. I finally put it together this afternoon.

A Wild Day as Trump DOJ Settles with Live Nation/Ticketmaster, State Enforcers Balk

Today was #boatProject day! In which I figure out how to patch our canvas enclosure to extend it's life (and our wallet).
