> people don't need to clean toilets for a living,
I swear to you, our janitor is the happiest, hardest working person in the building. Everyone looks up to him. But I can totally see where he couldn't work at McDonald's, let alone do QA runs on lab systems (a lab tech's job), or diagnose disease. And I think a genuine source of his happiness is having a job. Basic income doesn't solve the problem of feeling valued.
Thanks for that. Ironically, I'm trying to collaborate with some folks, I'm DoD, and can't access the github site. And now, with the shutdown, I can't access NIST either (they are apparently closed for business except for a couple critical roles).
