My grocery prices have gone up by about 75%, and that's factoring in product mix downgrades and changes I've made to conserve a bit more. I have no doubt a straight-up identical product mix would be 2x, easily.

They were exercising civil disobedience by violating specific a law they believed to be unjust and/or immoral.
What specific law regarding trespassing, noise, kidnapping, assault, or public property use are you engaging in civil disobedience regarding?

The problem with UBI is that it only makes sense if it *entirely* replaces the social safety net, including healthcare costs. For everyone except libertarians, letting people truly hit the ground & die on the street because they blew their UBI check on crack isn't a real option.

This is how they uniquely distinguish you in some systems to prevent double submission of the same applicant by different recruiters.
That said, an Infosec recruiter should be used to privacy-paranoid people who would question it. Any unique 8 digits for yourself would work.

60% of my neighborhood was plywooded up during BLM riot summer, and 80% was in prep for the election. After 1/6, no one felt the need to board back up before Inaug. Day (which was quite a tense period, if you recall).
