You are finally settled in your new job. The interstate move was pretty traumatic, as you had never travelled, even into the county. You had always lived and worked in the outer west, shifting in and out of paid work as different jobs never seemed to stick. Sales dropped, and they no longer needed you, while others had closed down, or shifted interstate, or the boss replaced you with his brother-in-law. When you lost another minimum wage job, you knew you had to find more stable employment. Besides, none of the jobs had really taken advantage of your training. Every time you lost a job, you thought of moving interstate where you knew jobs were available. But it was so frustrating, you could never save enough to make the move. And then, the UBI came along! Not only did it give you an instant lift in income to get your teeth fixed, but it also felt like a life raft that could sail you through from job to job. This was the first time that you no longer had to spend hours wasted queueing and getting documents and talking with people to justify the measly welfare payment that took forever to come through. Now, not only can you survive, the UBI has enabled you to get a small loan to pay the moving costs, and bond for a new place interstate. And here you are, in a new home, with a reasonable rent, and a new job that you had spent years training for.
