Lame.

No UBI. because drugs, gambling, prostitution. Eliminate the minimum wage so its easy to start working, and work your way up. Or not work your way up, but at least you're kept busy. I hope Im healthy enough to scrub toilets when I'm 90, for $5 an hour. Gov should provide unemployment ins so its easy...
