Unfortunately, the requirements for the program are ridiculously severe. It's super hard to get allowed, especially when you're under 50 or only have mental health issues. We really just need UBI so people aren't required to struggle to work to get by.

Imagine how much better the economy would be if people weren't forced to prop up absolutely shitty companies they don't believe in just to pay their bills. Like, we might actually have improving products and experiences instead of a constantly diminishing race to the bottom.
