This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

This is something I think UBI could help with, at least a form that allows you to survive without working. Being able to quit without worrying how you'll make rent is super empowering and is something therapy can't provide.

This wouldn't work for everyone, but I think there's a good chance overall productivity would improve if people felt like that instead of terriified of losing a job. Maybe then people would stand up for problems they see instead of hiding it so it's someone else's problem.
