"AI isn't coming for everybody's job — it's coming for the jobs of people who don't learn to use AI." I don't think he means for that to come off as a threat, but it is. Here's the deal. Everyone should benefit from AI, whether you choose to use it or not, your work helped train the AI. #UBINOW

I’ve been banging on about #UBINow for as long as I can can get anyone to listen 👍

The ideal opportunity to introduce #UBI was at the beginning of the pandemic lockdown, but the Tories preferred to sub their business buddies, often fraudulently, than look after the people 🤬

Scarcity isn’t real - it’s manufactured.

There’s enough food, housing, and wealth to go around.

The problem isn’t a lack of resources, it’s a lack of will. UBI isn’t radical. Letting people starve in the richest societies in history is.

What Would You Do with an Extra $1,000 a Month?

Would you pay off debt? Start a business? Quit a toxic job? Care for a loved one?

That’s what UBI offers: freedom. Not just to survive, but to thrive.

A stronger, freer, happier society is possible. UBI makes it happen.

The Myth of the “Lazy” Poor: Why UBI Works

Struggling Americans and people everywhere work HARD. Many juggle multiple jobs and still can’t afford rent. Poverty isn’t about laziness—it’s about lack of opportunity.

UBI fixes that. A guaranteed income means parents can afford childcare, workers can retrain, and people can escape the cycle of survival mode.

We don’t have a worker shortage—we have a dignity shortage. UBI restores it.

I’ve been looking at work documents too long this morning and can no longer discern details. Need a break, but also need to look busy. Arg. I hate work. #UBINow

@HopePunkFTW

Instead of isolating us from the world, how about we design buildings and infrastructure to invite the world into our spaces. Dappled sunlight through a canopy of leaves rather than dim shadows cast by a sun blocked out by ungodly skyscrapers. Walking paths instead of roads. Trolleys and buses instead of cars. Open air markets instead of parking lots. Gardens instead of office parks.

Imagine what we could accomplish if we didn't have to spend all our time slaving for a system from which we will derive no personal benefit...

@kentparkstreet1 Fucking barbarity, indeed - but all the cunty CEOs and their elected lackeys will argue it's the unseen hand of the market, or some other patent bullshit.

Pretty sure any economist worth their salt could put forward a solid case for universal basic income. Once upon a time, #economists factored *humans* and *society* into their appraisals.

it’s infuriating seeing all of the arguments that welfare should not equal minimum wage because people will have no incentive to work. Every trial of universal basic income has found people work more, except for students and mothers of infants. every. single. trial. people want to work, want to contribute. #UBINow

There would be no need for A Christmas Carol if there was a Universal Basic Income.

Canada needs to implement basic income immediately, before the stories start rolling in of people in poverty opting for death over more life in poverty.

RT @CerebroJD
In Canada, the "cost of dying" is now publicly funded, but the "cost of living" is not.

Think about that. Think about the outcomes of this societal choice.

Horrific.

@Hamishcampbell
NGOs are political and work to preserve and uphold those structures and processes they used to project influence.

Also #NotForProfits are for profit. A person profits by being employed by them.

They exist perfectly in CorporateState Totalitarianism, and are very active in crushing genuine innovation.

KARL: How bad is it going to get?

CONSTANCE: *shrugs*

KARL: Maybe I need to rephrase. How long are we going to go without a Universal Basic Income?

> So many lives have been wrecked by the #pandemic and the #bailouts (at least where I am, in #Sweden) … and geared towards preserving the existing social hierarchy, with more money offered to those who were already making money.

May we say, "#Australia, same", with class-based payouts they called "#JobKeeper".

Thanks for sharing, humanity does need a #UBI now.

If fewer people had downright nasty jobs and downright evil softwares operating on their devices, we would have a lot more #trust.

UBI Now, please!
