A place to discuss positive changes that can make work more equitable, and to vent about current practices. We are NOT against work; we just want the fruits of our labor to be recognized better.

Nobody should work for free, that's exploitation. UBI should provide basic assistance, and then people should be free to do what they want with their free time. Many, like myself, would pursue artistic goals, but many would still want to work and earn more money, and that's okay, too. Even artists may want to sell their work.

The point is that nobody HAS to work for money, but they can if they want to. That's real freedom.
