@freemo There are some who believe it should be a deterrent and so designed against 'scroungers'. Sometimes this is said openly in the UK.
@freemo Yes, most of them feature a desire to make them punitive. We moved on from 'debtors prison' and workhouses, but only just. There remains a view that folk will work harder to avoid an unpleasant system but they never have.
@freemo It is too easy to mess it up and there are pitfalls too. The UK 'universal credit' is an example.
@freemo I've never seen any argument for folk not working when getting UBI, but that it sits under incomes as a financial safety net for most cases. Some cases may need more money or other forms of welfare but UBI would catch most cases.
@freemo I think they can get guns by asking a judge, tbf.
@freemo If you carry one here, cops come very quickly. Of course, they haven't got one, so they are at a disadvantage. They can have a stick, though.
@freemo Somewhat limited use in the UK.😂
@bastianallgeier Now they also sell the safety goggles to wear whilst opening it.😉

A great article by @STAT's newsletter strategist Alexa Lee: #Puberty is hitting girls earlier, bringing with it mental and social hurdles.
"I didn’t get to explain the educational part of puberty to her before it took place. We were stuck dealing with the changes and learning all at the same time."

@sciencebase It gets stuck in the coiled strings. Entirely unforeseeable as I explained.
@sciencebase Not what Dr Kemp said when he unfolded his views on the matter and me in particular.
@sciencebase I got a right bollocking for trying it on a Spanish at school. It actually wore completely through into two hanging bits either end.
@sciencebase Got your bow for the extended version of 'Dazed and Confused'?
