        I’m for available free housing and a Universal Basic Income, not even so I can quit working. I want it so I can quit working with people who won’t pull their weight. If I’m going to carry your sorry ass anyway, let me do it in a way that saves me having to interact with you. It could probably all be paid for by the amount my country’s military misplaces every year, too.
