"I believe in freedom. God meant us to be free. FREEDOOOOM!" "Let's provide everyone basic income so we all have the freedom to refuse to work until our wage demands are met, and the freedom to choose unpaid work instead." "Jobs must remain mandatory or else no one would work."
If it feels too costly to have a kid, why have one? This shit isn't rocket science. We've become a highly unequal society where only those with sufficient income have a full range of choices. Universal basic income would make starting a family more of an option for more people.

Where's the money come from? I hear that reply to anything about universal basic income over and over again. Where's the money come from to pay for all the effects of poverty and chronic stress that exceed the net cost of UBI? Where's the money come from for the military?
The Denver Basic Income Project (DBIP) continues to elevate folks! I had the opportunity to talk to DBIP recipients, one who was unhoused for 10 year and now has an apartment, a job, and even makes time to volunteer. I am proud to support this life changing initiative.
@elonmusk Not true. The majority of the homeless population does not have a problem with drugs or alcohol, and additionally those that do only do because they became homeless. About 1 in 5 of the homeless population has a mental illness. About 1 in 3 of the homeless population has a drug…
Great meeting with Victoria Mayor Marianne Alto today talking about the need for a basic income for Canada. She’s for basic income as an essential component of a modern social and economic system.
On Friday @DisrupTVShow interviews @theUBIguy, UBI Trial Manager & Series Co-Creator of Bootstraps docuseries, & Co-Founder of Comingle, and @scottsantens, Founder and President of Income To Support All Foundation. Tune in at 11 AM PT! zurl.co/uAQs @ValaAfshar @rwang0
My curse is the unending ill-informed Dunning-Kruger replies about how universal basic income will just cause inflation and negate its own value. This assumption is based on an ignorance of UBI's net cost vs gross cost, and also the learned helplessness of a hope-starved society.
The leap towards Universal Basic Income is not a jump into the unknown but a step into a world where mental health isn't a casualty of financial strain. Imagine societies where stress doesn't dictate our health. Let's make mental wellness accessible to all, not just the affluent.
UBI’s a more efficient & just way to enable & empower people - less stress/fear, make own & better choices. Less bureaucracy in the way. Something all of us can get behind IMHO.

Universal Basic Income would save and restore more small towns than any other policy ever could. It would stimulate local economies and bring Main Street USA blazing back from oblivion thanks to rural entrepreneurs having more capital and small businesses more paying customers.

I was skeptical a few years ago about a pilot study of what I now recognise as #UBI (Universal Basic Income). Now I literally can't see a reason NOT to have this. Think of the head space this would free up! The creativity! For *everyone* 🌟🌟🌟

A pilot in Vancouver that provided unconditional cash to homeless people not only saved more money than it cost, it also reduced drug and alcohol use by 39%. In the India UBI pilot, where entire villages got UBI, drug and alcohol use went down by 12% compared to control villages.

A fundamental human need is the need for a sense of belonging. When people lack money, it hurts their ability to spend time with friends and be a real part of their communities. Basic income pilots consistently show reversals of the loneliness problem. theconversation.com/loneliness-can…

UBI is not "paying people to do nothing." That's welfare, unemployment, etc. With those, you have to continue not to work or earn to keep receiving the benefits. UBI is the opposite. It pays to do *anything*. It does not punish working. If you work, you earn more.
And reducing the stress and anxiety of poverty so many people are currently living with will free up much of that potential.

@musenz I don't believe in being this helpless and powerless. Don't like what "THEY" are doing? Then fight against it. We need UBI. It's up to US to make sure WE make it happen.
@PlayfulAnytime The changes would be pretty immediate, as we have seen in pilots lasting 1-3 years. One long term study showed that ROI was 3 to 1 by age 26 for kids. That was around 15 years. Amount doesn't matter as much as it being a floor. Min $200/mo max $2000/mo. (in US) Observed effect…

@AricLeed It's the hypocrisy of the person shouting freedom also saying that jobs must remain mandatory.
@tony80554056 @BasicIncomeIMG It sounds like you don't understand what it is. Basic income is a floor. All income adds to it. It is cash. It has no conditions. Everything you just described isn't basic income. I advocate for UBI, not not-UBI.
@skotfreezy That's a fictional movie. A bad one too. Full of disinformation. scottsantens.com/is-uncondition…
How many revolutions of thought are waiting in the wings, stifled by the day-to-day battle to simply exist? Unconditional Basic Income is the key that unlocks a future where innovation isn't a luxury, but a common reality for all. Let's bet on humanity's boundless potential.
"I believe in freedom. God meant us to be free. FREEDOOOOM!" "Let's provide everyone basic income so we all have the freedom to refuse to work until our wage demands are met, and the freedom to choose unpaid work instead." "Jobs must remain mandatory or else no one would work."

@JRStaffa It's a laughable notion to think you as an individual are self-sufficient unless you are living off the land somewhere and not trading with anyone. Freedom is the power to refuse the domination of others and make real choices. UBI enhances that power. libertarianism.org/columns/why-di…
@investsx Yes. Just use taxes to turn them into net-payers. scottsantens.com/negative-incom…
@CitizensKnow It's a secure floor and yes most people will want more than that floor provides and thus work for more. But the floor means their income will never fall below the amount of UBI, which makes a huge difference to allay chronic stress even for those with enough money currently.
In the chorus of economic debates, Universal Basic Income sings a song of hope. See UBI not as a net but as a trampoline. A world where UBI exists is a world where every fall has the potential to launch us even higher. Let's build a society that says "try again" not "game over."
No one is talking about this and it makes me mad as hell. It is a silent, looming, epidemic. There is a whole group of millennials like myself that will more than likely be childless. Not by choice! But because the money literally isn't there to make it happen.
If it feels too costly to have a kid, why have one? This shit isn't rocket science. We've become a highly unequal society where only those with sufficient income have a full range of choices. Universal basic income would make starting a family more of an option for more people.

The U.S. birth rate fell to 1.62 per woman, far below the 2.1 rate needed for replacement. “Only 27% of adults ages 30-to-34 have one child, he said, but in 1990 that percentage was 60%.” fortune.com/2024/04/26/fer…
@elonmusk Then push for universal basic income right now instead of only after sufficiently advanced AI is developed. We know that Alaska's UBI makes family formation more affordable there. vox.com/future-perfect…
Anyone who has ever dealt with the bureaucracy of proving you are in sufficient need of assistance to get assistance should recognize how huge of a difference unconditional basic income would be in our times of greatest need.
@elonmusk @johnhering This is another way you could speak about the need for universal basic income other than in response to AI. This is simple Maslow's hierarchy stuff. We all need to strive for more than just day to day survival. So let's free people from that by providing UBI as a foundation floor
