Welcome back, Calax. Its been a while!

When I hit the MegaLotto, I wont tell anyone, but theyll know.

Yes and no. Since Im not a fatcat then I want them to pay, but make no mistake, if I ever get the opportunity to become a fatcat, then this will be my wife and I.

At least you get paid for it! Im "overutilized" and dont get bupkis for extra hours because Im on salary. Well I get a fat bonus at the end of the year but Id rather be paid for every hour I put in.

Thats some quality class to mock the spelling in someones post, but here we are.

I wish I got paid overtime, Id be retired and living the fatcat lifestyle.

I started with this combination but it has too many seeds: So I switched to this combination which is awesome: Then I add in some mango: Then put in one peeled banana and top it off with milk!

I removed strawberries from my smoothies and added mago. Wunderbar! I think Ill try cherries next week but theyre hella expensive in comparison to the other fruits.

I binged the rest of The Legend of Vox Machina and really enjoyed S1. I had to laugh at myself though, I think the last time Ive seen cartoon breasts was when me and Methuselah watched Heavy Metal together.

USPS emailed me that my four free tests will be delivered tomorrow. Cool, Ill probably waste one trying it out.

Ive read that the plot is EXACTLY the same as the original Ghostbusters...Gozer, the Key master, the Gate keeper.

Heh, that reminds me of the VA hospitals. I think any (honorably discharged) veteran can freely enroll for VA health care, but having been to the VA hospital in Chicago in the mid 1990's, I can tell you that it should only be used as a last resort. But maybe things have improved since then.

Does this mean UHC?

I cant imagine 46% of the SA population is homeless, so how do they pay for rent / utilities / etc?

That would barely cover one week of groceries for me.

I wish! But it probably wouldnt survive the next incoming administration.

Here in the US there a finite amount of time that you can be on the dole. So you cant just go your whole life receiving unemployment checks. Im not sure about other countries though.

Youre right, thats what were talking about. Universal Basic Income isnt meant to replace working for a living, its intended as a supplement to peoples earned income. For example, my lord and savior Andrew Yang, proposed $1k/month/adult. Of course nobody can live off that alone, but it would greatly improve my QoL (quality of life). UBI = universal basic income UHC = universal health care UFE = universal free education UFH = universal free housing All inalienable human rights. Well maybe not education, but 3 hots, a cot and shots certainly are.

"Dole" is the equivalent to the US "unemployment insurance". Thats what Im saying. It wont hit me, tax the fatcats!

Iirc, you were born in the UK? Dont they already provide UHC and UFE? How are they doing it?

Thats a good question. I think it will help you understand my position when I say; I dont spend energy worrying about futures that me or my loved ones wont be around for. I only really care about the next ~60 years. So with that in mind, Id be willing to roll the dice on UBI, and if it works, phasing in other programs. Generational poverty is already real in the US and I personally know people that are poor, their parents were poor and their grandparents were poor. The US doesnt have to go full Venezuela to provide me my basic inalienable human rights.
