    there’s a lot more info that should be captured by GDP like home chores, growing your own food, maintenance you do yourself, etc. This is one of the benefits of UBI.

    That’s an excellent point. Another argument in my arsenal in favor of UBI! Thank you.

    As for grocery on credit, it wasn’t that long ago lol. There was a local grocer that did that in my town up until the 70s iirc. Of course they were run out of business by a chain who now have a local monopoly. Fuck you Safeway/Albertsons. Reminder to everyone that there’s a possible merger with them and Kroger’s that would make grocers in the US a big fucking joke.
