Your point about the importance of work (whatever the job) for mental health is something that is often underestimated, particularly in young people.

Feeling useful/needed, learning new skills inc social skills, interacting with colleagues from different age groups/backgrounds, sharing opinions etc on a daily basis keeps the mind constantly active. There’s no time for over analysing thoughts and feelings.

Without that daily routine it must be a lot easier to fall into depression.

UBI can be made to sound appealing but for young people it’s effectively putting them into an extremely early retirement.

Thanks for an excellent article (as always) Miri. I will definitely be nicer to pigeons from now on 😄

Great birds-eye view Miri. The overlords have also presided over a productive programme to render many more of the population pigeon-chested and bird-brained to increase their chances of succeeding in their avaricious agenda.
