Bad take. UBI is unconditional access to resources. It says, "I trust you. Show me what you can do." It is the power to refuse until the pay is right. It is the freedom to choose paid or unpaid work. It fosters community and societal participation.
And ending survival fear is a psychological need.
@mmtuk.bsky.socialProfessor Bill Mitchell on Universal Basic Income:
"I actually hate it."
Not because he's against helping people but because UBI dodges the real question and treats us as consumption units rather than societal members.
