Very often, yes. But if their boss harassed them (or say tried to force RTO), they could quit and not worry about ending up on the street.

- eropple 3y agoThat was what I was getting at, yeah. ;)
- itsboring 3y agoThis is the real reason I like the idea of UBI. It’s not because I want to do nothing all day, it’s because I want to shift the power dynamic. For example, imagine a worker living paycheck-to-paycheck who needs their employer-provided health insurance, with an asshole boss who refuses to let them take a day off to attend a family member’s funeral: the UBI improves their ability to tell that boss to get fucked without ending up broke and homeless. Basically I’m for any system that allows people to tell bad bosses to get fucked. Also a good argument for universal health care.
