As someone who is currently sleeping under a bridge most nights, I would be happy to tolerate that frustration until a more equitable system can be implemented.

Surely, a UBI would help you immediately. But I don’t think we’ll see one any time soon. Meanwhile I’m trying to develop a more equitable system. I hope it works. It’s clearly unfair to me that I get to sleep in an apartment and some people can’t. My hope is that by owning the means of production and sharing the output, we can build a more equitable system.

Incidentally I talk about how someone can come in with nothing and end up with part ownership in The Machine in its follow on essay, The Corporation.
