I’m very pro UBI, but I do wonder about how a truly universal program would affect cost of living.

Landlords and daycares would know there was extra money to be had. What would stop them from jacking up their rates? https://www.npr.org/2024/03/05/1233440910/cash-aid-guaranteed-basic-income-social-safety-net-poverty

@imyke I think a 3-4 hour episode of Cortex is absolutely acceptable because there are only 12 or 14 episodes a year. You’ll never hear me complain that there’s too much Cortex.

Whether you and Grey would survive doing shows that long on the regular is a separate question.

“The reason most public transportation is seen as ‘losing’ money is precisely because it charges for trips. If you don't charge fares, suddenly it can't ‘lose’ money. It just costs money, the same as the roads.”

This random comment has given me my new favourite argument for removing fares from public transit.

@caseyliss after listening to ATP about your no-good-very-bad day, I am convinced that Apple want you to indemnify them from copyright claims against your app.

There is no way they are reviewing every app and making fair use determinations on every piece of copyrighted material that find. They just want to make sure it’s you that gets sued if there is suing to be done.

I’m no app dev, and I hope this is already resolved, but if it’s not maybe ask how to indemnify Apple
