oh nooo I completely forgot that I included a fight scene in this story outline. I haven’t tried writing a fight scene in nearly 20 years. …maybe it won’t be as bad (tedious, arduous) as I remember.

UBI, or universal basic income, is a form of direct cash assistance to help the most vulnerable get back on their feet. A new study in Denver suggests it works.
