Visions of the Future Part 4

The business you work for is in strife and they are cutting back hours. It’s tough for the owner, but what they offer is just not enough to survive on its own. Fortunately, the UBI has just been implemented and you know that it will keep coming in to cover the basics – no need to apply, no need to justify entitlement, no delay. Even more importantly, it has let you keep working so that instead of the cut back in hours being a disaster, it now means that whatever you earn is a boon on top of you UBI. The more you work, the better off you’ll be. Sometimes you really do think you are dreaming. For your whole life it’s been a constant struggle, in an out of work, and never sure when you’ll be cast into despair next. It’s been good for your boss too, as he’s been able to keep you on. Much better to have a happy employee than someone who’s struggling to survive, or a new employee that has to be trained up.
