Comment on If a universal basic income started today with the stipulation that you had to put 40 hrs/wk towards making the world a better place or solving societal problems, how would you spend your time?

I live in a shitty neighborhood with minimal options for kids and a lot of litter. First thing I’m doing is opening a nonprofit, daycare for kids ages 7-14. We’ll focus on gaming, tabletop, and casual activity as well as local activism and civil service. We’ll also teach cyber responsibility and privacy, kids are going to be on the internet more than any of us were growing up and someone needs to stop them from falling into the pipelines we did.

That would be awesome. I don’t know where you live, but in the US, with everything being so car-centric, there are few activities that are accessible to kids without money and begging parents for a ride.

Talked to someone close to me about the internet thing for 2-3 hours just the other day. We can’t legislate something like this, it has to be taught.

Great answer. I hope you win the lotto and can do this while living a comfortable life!

  Yeah, here in south central Kansas it’s particularly bad. I have 3 card shops in the area but they’re all 40+min walks with the way traffic works here and our neighborhood is historically a slum. Apparently there used to be a nice park around the corner but the city took it away due to vandalism so there’s a whole named park that’s just an unpainted basketball court.
  
  I’ve been here for almost a year and we only just found out that two of my son’s class mates are our neighbors. There’s just no good way for kids to leave the house here.
