Was taking a shower, thinking about my art and tech project ideas for which I'd rather have a team, thinking about the heroic efforts of @spacekookie with their projects *while* getting funding while coping with an immense amounts of bureaucracy. (BTW, give them your money! #Irdest[1] HAS TO GET ADOPTED!).

I think that in a society with guaranteed basic income or in a self-sovereign, self-sufficient commune we (collectively) could have achieved so much more. Our time here is finite, why do we need to have such a shit baseline for existence?

The aren't ironic questions, perhaps some #capitalism fan will answer with some meta-analysis or something. I'm especially interested in hearing from people who understand how decision-making is organised in existing #socialist-congruent countries like #Sweden, #Germany and #Canada. How come your governments didn't establish universal income yet? Is it considered? What are the actual drawbacks?
