All people who quit their jobs to start their own company want UBI?

What we really need are more lawyers. And politicians. Maybe throw in some more

Not gonna lie. I have always admired the Euro/Australian approach to work more. We Americans can grind too much at times

Turnpike Lane

We all work too much. And most of us don’t like what we do (or at least we don’t

Jay Rick
