What will I do tommorrow, when every individual begins receiving a basic income of $300.00/week?
1. Continue as I am doing until I take care of my debt situation and I am able to make a change, and then (describe the change)
2 quit my job tommorrow, and try to find some kind of more meaningful “work”.
3 start a business myself
4 each day, wake up, and take care of
people who need help
It could be used to collect data and endorsement.
I have created a contact in my phone called “my self” and I send thoughts to this contact about basic income and related ideas of waking up. What if everyone did this and my self became known as a support contact in the cloud that could help us inform the “system”
