  • It gets even more unfair: participants get selected by chance (if they fulfill the criteria)

    BUT it’s just a pilot project. I hope it’s successful and gets implemented for everyone - I mean everyone has the potential to become an artist if money isn’t the deciding factor anymore.

    Who knows how many great musicians, painter, etc. are stuck in a 9-5 job? I for example want to create a game… Not really “art” in the classical sense, but creative and prone to bring me next to no money unless I have a lot of luck.

    Hell, even scientists might be more free in what they want to study if money is less of a problem…

    UBI might be a great thing and I agree that art isn’t the only thing that could benefit from it.

    Schools - and some businesses - see getting up early as some kind of achievement, a trait to be proud of. A thought that was mirrored in the influencer scene with the insane ‘grindset’ videos. Get up early and get done more than the others… Completely ignoring that the amount of sleep we need doesn’t change with how early you get up.

    Some people get up early and have no problem with that, but that’s not the case for everyone. In the dawn of time, it was better to have some people who get up early and some who prefer to stay up late: that way the tribe was better protected because the time where everyone was sleeping was minimized.

    Now everyone who biologically tends to be more productive when they can work late and get up late is painted as lazy and forced to work against their inner clock.
















  • Why don’t the Democrats try to impeach him over this? I know it won’t pass with the Republicans in charge, but at least it would show that they tried to make things right.

    They should try it and try to get Republicans to vote against Trump - I know it won’t work, but at least they should be forced to publicly show their colors as minions of a dictator.

    There should be a impeachment trial for each and every time that traitor breaks the law. It’s the least they could do.
