After reading the post I’m still not convinced. I do think folks who have jobs as waiters, waitresses, house keepers, nanny’s, service workers in general both men and women so as not to be sexist, also paid time paternity and maternity leave for all jobs, I can support a lot of these things, all of these people, and also anyone who works deserves a living wage.

Edited for double negatives lol but hopefully meaning is clear

I just disagree that calling our chores unpaid labor makes any sense if we are trying to actually make it happen…with legislation. I live in the USA and 🎤 🎙️ 🎼 🎶 I’m proud to be an American because basic income works for me, and is proven to work. 🎵 🎶 🎶 🎵 🎶 🎶

Again, I would not vote against it no matter what it is was or will be called.

Also, I did not downvote you by the way I ain’t like that

I support a universal basic income, everyone deserves to have their basic needs met at a minimum, we don’t live in a society where there is a shortage of anything, at least in developed countries….

I will read your post tomorrow… thanks

I don’t think people should be paid for taking care of their families or doing their chores, if you are doing someone else’s chores and that is your job then sure…. But like I said I do think we should have basic income etc….

I wouldn’t vote against a referendum that suggested we pay single mothers or fathers or other folks unable to work for whatever reason though, so it could just be semantics and games of words to describe the same thing… not sure

In the United States if I was a single father I would much rather be homeless and able to spend time with my kid than to work and have to be away from them… but I’m also a dirty hippy who knows that life is possible
