Basic Income: A Shield Against Political Chaos Let's be honest: Some politicians benefit from keeping people desperate. When they slash benefits and promote austerity, it's not about saving money – it's about power. Desperate people are easier to control, easier to force into…

Market economy vs Planned economy

If Landlords raise rents when they can’t afford the properties then you should be buying it not paying rent . But not under the current capitalist model of feudalist dumpster fire

Scarcity Mindset plays a key role in discouraging people from pursuing education attainment, widening gulfs in earning potential- but a #BasicIncome could help overcome this #BIEN2024 #BIENBath

You're in a desert, walking along in the sand, when all of a sudden you look down and see a tortoise. It's crawling toward you. You reach down and you flip the tortoise over on its back. The tortoise lays on its back, its belly baking in the hot sun, beating its legs trying to…

Sam Altman proposed a UBI in the form of a dividend from land rents and the largest companies' shares, invested in an American sovereign wealth fund. In his words, "the best way to improve capitalism is to enable everyone to benefit from it directly as an equity owner".

The current tax system rewards blight and penalizes development. We need to tax land instead of homes. #LVT

"Poverty is the biggest driver of deforestation in these areas" “We’d love to see a global fund for basic income,” Felandro said. “We call Indigenous communities the guardians of the rainforest. But they’re often not provided the agency to support the forest. This basic…

Capital = Dead/Stolen labor.

Capitalism is the Evil it has always portrayed communism to be.

Universal Basic Income safeguards your right to speak freely without the fear of losing your livelihood. By ensuring financial stability, UBI fosters a more open and democratic society where everyone feels safe to express their opinions. #UBI = Freedom

I don't understand how anyone can think #UBI would create a feudal system or monarchy. It makes no sense. Huey Long coined the slogan "Every man a king" when he was fighting for universal basic income in 1934. Because that's what it does. It grants that kind of autonomy.
