The backward thinking I can't handle is the claim that welfare or a universal basic income will see people turn lazy and do nothing. Even if that was true, which it isn't (there's been enough studies of this with UBI), who gives a fuck? These backward conservatives would rather people starve and die than give money on the off chance that the receivers might be lazy. It doesn't get much more anti-social than that. These sorts of people should be caged in zoos so we can go and point at them and marvel at how human they look yet at the same time how inhuman they actually are.

On the waiting in line thing, sometimes I wish we here in the west didn't feel like we were always short of time. I wish we felt like we had the option to wait in line and have a chat, or catch a bus across town instead of drive. I think we'd be a happier society for it.
