Screw techno-authoritarianism, embrace the Year of Jubilee
On every 7th year of work, you get a sabbatical (months - year long) for professional training or continuing education (with time allowed for fun / vacation).
Every 50th year, all debt wiped and land returned to the AB-ORIGINAL owners.
And number 4???
Bringing Sex-y back!!!!
Thanks JT.
Hot take:
Give sabbaticals for all
(Every 7th year is freely chosen professional development / vacation)
Bring back the year of Jubilee
(50 year term for a loan and then forgiven if up to date)
Bring back universal basic income
(Or just food, meds, and shelter)
Oh wait, coldest take of all time.
