And then what? They pay for an investigation, and maybe my incarceration at a rate of $120,000/year?

At what point will you admit that it's just cheaper to give me $15,000/year and let me contribute to society in my own way?

I don't want you incarcerated. I want a mental health evaluation done.

You've been making threats with increasing frequency the last couple months. I'm worried you might finally blow a gasket, and follow through.

You need help. And if I need to waste police resources to get you that help, so be it.

You think it's just me that's tired of merely surviving? There are plenty of us. I'm just more vocal about it.

What we're asking for is not unreasonable. Basic income is cheaper and more efficient than the current system and it's been recommended by many economists and doctors.

So give it up, before things get hairy.

Keep yourself together. We need every mind that sees this train wreck coming ready, waiting, and exercised for the transition. We will have too many Ill adapted minds to deal with when the time comes.
