+<!-- Pain: People are hungry and unhoused, yo. -->
+
+Many people have insufficient free cashflow to cover reliable, healthy, and safe shelter, food, health care, and education.
+
+So much energy is spent worrying about affording to live in a place that suits us, to eat food we enjoy, to receive care when we are hurting or infirm, or to develop ourselves further to the people we want to be.
+
+
+<!-- Dream: What if people didn't have to worry as much about money? -->
+What if people didn't have to invest so much of their daily energy on how to access reliable, healthy, and safe shelter, food, health care, and education?
+
+What if education workers could spend more time focusing on teaching because they had access to additional income through a California Education Workers Basic Income Fund, their Teachers Union, or the American Association for Montessori Educators?
+
+What if restaurants and grocers lowered prices because food workers receive a supplemental wage through the County Food Workers Living Wage Trust?
+
+What if we all received a little-bit of cash every month thanks to the California Residents Basic Income Program?
+
+<!-- Fix: Community-Operated, Automated Basic Income -->
+TOBIAS, the TOpical Basic Income Administration System automates administering a basic income trust for industries, communities, regions, and organizations.
+
+TOBIAS combines democratic stewardship, financial automation, and trust fund management to collect, invest and distribute wealth as a community.
+
+Whether administering a basic income fund for a region, industry, organization, or community; TOBIAS simplifies record-keeping, drives investment, and streamlines participant payments.
