Things along the range of:

“Checklist - 1. Ensure that the thing is on.”

I’ve seen stories of people who just don’t get it and need their hands held all the time, so what are things where you kinda feel that things are a bit too “hand-holdy”?

    I recently bought a scale for weighting food and had a good laugh reading the manual when I saw “not to be used for illicit substance trade”. I imagined some small time drug dealer reacting “damn it”.

      Some economist please corrcxt me if I’m wrong, but: Trickle down may not work. However, trickle up should.

      If you do say, UBI, people will spend the stuff. And the money will go to the big players. They’ll buy their food at Walmart. Or meds at Target Pharmacy. Or get a loan at JP Morgan.

      Unlike, say Walmart, who won’t buy their huge private jet collection from the swathes of less-than-well-off people across all of America.

      So even if UBI made people lazy, even if it made people less productive, the money will still disproportionately end up in the hands of the rich.

    I once took a photograph of a pack of batteries that stated the warranty didn’t cover sudden battery discharges due to acts of God, or something like that.
