This is exactly how I feel, filled with rage. We are not here to cook and clean, to raise the kids, to be their mattress buddy at their beck and call. All around the world, we should all go out at the same time and scream. That sound might actually get through entitled mush for brains.

Added two more pieces of evidence today that show how good Universal Basic Income is for health and how it can save us a lot of money that's otherwise spent extremely expensively on emergency care instead of much less costly prevention.
