great question. great replies.
universal basic income is the way forward.
tax wealth for services, not work.
we are all equal. no one deserves so much money and power as to afford to buy a human being or their loyalty.

Honest question: If everyone got Universal Basic Income, no strings attached, what would YOU do with it?

I don't understand the whole "only charge your phone to 80% to preserve the battery" thing.
I'd rather have 100% battery until its capacity drops to 80% than only ever use 80% from day one.
Reality is, my old iPhone XS Max was at 86% battery after 7 YEARS.
