    I think the main reason is that if you had an UBI, you’d be way more eager to join a union, strike, or quit a shitty job. They know their fortune is built on labour exploitation, even the supposed ‘tech’ companies.

      Other businesses are competition. Arguably worse than quitting that shitty job; not only aren’t you willing to work for them for a shitty job/wage, you’re making it more likely they’ll have to compete for labor and profits.

        Tbh I’d just make the 10 millionth indie game company. So in reality I’d probably pull 0 labor lol
