minus-squareBoblinTheGoblin [none/use any]@hexbear.netlinkfedilinkarrow-up1·5 days agoThat’s not what Basic Income is for. Basic income is meant to cover your basics for survival, a safety net. If you want any additional money you’re meant to still work for it. It’s not a replacement for employment.
