Ah, I'm in the other boat... Day job is a wipe for the moment... But the side jobs have gotten better. So, surviving... But it stings!
UBI would be a great thing. Subsistence support should be something that you don't need to 'run to stay still' for. If people want more, then jobs are possible... But endless consumption feeding endless growth is a touch like a Ponzi.
People would be free to pursue their interests and desires, and that would have more possible innovative effects than labouring at a job that has little meaningful contribution to society that doesn't engage the person.
We'll all continue to get-by so long as we keep breathing. :)
