Afternoon Humie and Steph Elephant in the room, most adults have kids or dependents which is why they work more than part-time And if they care about legacy for children, part time doesn't cut it
Is Stephanie familiar with Maslow's hierarchy of needs? Food cannot be just categorized as a "want" because it is a physiological need. We can't survive without it. You can call a trip to a restaurant a want because you don't need to go out - you can cook at home. But generally speaking, food is a human need.
I'm not sure why my comment didn't post. Anyway... I started working at age 17 doing part-time work until I found my first full-time job at 22. Between the ages of 22 and 51, I worked a variety of positions in two companies. At age 51, I left the workforce and went on permanent disability due to physical, mental and emotional disabilities. When I quit, my income dropped by 2/3 and I struggled for several years. A few years ago my mother passed away, and her death allowed me to receive an inheritance which gave me financial freedom. Am I rich? Not at all. I'm able to take care of myself and do some things I've always wanted to do, but in no way does it mean I can go buy a fleet of sports cars or expensive art. I believe one should work, it teaches a sense of responsibility (in most people). However, working 40+ hours a week isn't good for overall health.
I'm in favour of UBI because every person deserves basic needs to be covered, such as shelter, food, education and sports (especially for children). Why? Because children didn't ask to be born into misery, and they will be adults one day and they will be an important part that shapes our society. How you take care of children will ultimately make or break the society (a country). I would go further, the UBI can't work if there is no meaningful involvement of people in their communities, the labour has to be meaningful, not dictatorial, a person should see the fruits of their labour, and they should witness the change that their labour produces. A lot of jobs we have right now aren't meaningful, it's all consumption-oriented. The labour doesn't produce much good for an individual or a planet, it only benefits short-term goals of the shareholders who are invested in it. So, the whole system has to be restructured, we can not be a consumption-oriented species, and that's not what our main purpose is. This is why a lot of folks want to leave the rat race ASAP, many just can't afford to work part-time, but if they had an opportunity they would in a heartbeat. Actually, with all the technology that humans have created there is no need to work full time anyway, a human is only fully productive 4 hours a day, 8 hours per day is overkill.

Discovering HuMAN's real name was similar to seeing my favorite wrestler lose his mask.
