I just realized, between nine months of dealing with Unemployment and Employer Paid COBRA insurance (both ending in the next few weeks), I've had a taste of "simulated" Universal Basic Income and "simulated" Socialized Medicine, and I gotta say...
I've eaten well.
I've made incredible progress in my medical issues.
I've kept my apartment.
And the only reason I haven't had time to be more productive in what I WANT to do is because I've had a pinched nerve keeping my computer screen time down.
Gotta say, it's working fairly well.
