Dead China Doll ΔΘ @deadchinadoll.bsky.social · 23/06/2026THIS. I got a large amount of disability backpay and nearly all of my mental health issues went away. I'm getting to the end of that money and am fucking dreading going back into that dark hole...I'm hoping it won't be so bad this time, but :/ 000
Scott Santens @scottsantens.com · 22/06/2026👇Scott Santens@scottsantens.comA lot of mental health issues disappear when people have unconditional basic income, and yes, the unconditionality matters beyond just the resources alone. It's one thing to know your fridge is full. It's another to know it always will be. www.scottsantens.com/finland-gave... 060
QueenPiB @queenpib.com · 25/06/2026My basement flooded. Lost a lot of stuff. Flooring needed to be torn out. One of the workers asks why I'm so calm considering what happened, I go "I know the check I write for this is gonna clear." 010
Avril Lasagna @enbylicious.bsky.social · 22/06/2026Mental health "treatment" in America be like "Oh wow is capitalism stressing you out? Here's a pill" "Side effects from the pill I gave you? Uhhhhh here's another pill sry" 110
Alberto GM @beto.betoworks.com · 22/06/2026This is why UBI is no longer some woke leftie fantasy, but a basic need/right that should be fulfilled because, how come we can afford bi/trillionaires and not this. 061
M.D. @mdopi.bsky.social · 21/06/20261000% I was forced too many times to stay in shitty jobs were I got bullied and screamed at and abused just because I could not afford to quit. Same with moldy, tiny, noisy Apartments with creepy neighbours. Got mental problems like social phobia and chronical depression from struggle with poverty. 1150
NuclearNoises @nuclearnoises.bsky.social · 21/06/2026I got 99 problems and money would solve at least 80 of them. 2523

marikaofhusum.bsky.social @marikaofhusum.bsky.social · 21/06/2026True. True. True. Absofuckinglutely True. How is this not a major part of human knowledge.? 2150
secretman11.bsky.social @secretman11.bsky.social · 22/06/2026That is literally correct. Most importantly, it happens when money isn't dangled on the end of a string so that it can be snatched away at any moment, but rather given reliably, securely and unconditionally. scottsantens.substack.com/p/finland-ba...scottsantens.substack.comFinland Gave Two Groups Identical Payments. One Experienced 33% Better Mental Health.New research from Finland's basic income experiment proves that simply trusting people with money—not just the money itself—significantly improves mental health 000
Alê das Candongas @roteflagge.bsky.social · 26/06/2026I didn't get it: Why that should be an unpopular opinion? I am pretty sure who dissgrees on the statement is out off reality (at least from poor people reality). 000
friendOWO🏳️⚧️ || BE A BASTARD @friend0w0.bsky.social · 22/06/2026I’ve never lived a day out of debt. And it’s contributed to some of my darkest days and thoughts. 010
Harryhenry @harryhenry.bsky.social · 22/06/2026I would agree with this... in theory, but I'm also someone who is in a very comfortable material position in terms of my life and where it is, and yet I'm still dealing with mental health issues. So I'm not sure what to make of takes like that, I'd love to hear your input. 120
donnie harrison @donnieharrisonn.bsky.social · 22/06/2026Real walls closing in level despair will absolutely cause a chemical reaction in our brain and then it's just a downward spiral 070
Goat is pissed @chimeracreations.bsky.social · 22/06/2026A big part of this is a yes but no but yes sort of situation. so much of life's problems that can cause or contribute to to mental health struggles can be tied to money but there are equally number that are not related to capital and it gains. Regardless both would improve without capitalism 210
Aer @elementalaer.bsky.social · 21/06/202670% of my depression and anxiety in my teenhood was about money, and what I would do if I couldnt be able to work anymore because of it. It's a vicious cycle of mental illness and stress. 1651
minusmoney.co.uk @minusmoney.co.uk · 21/06/2026My friend's dad once said "money doesn't make you happy but not enough money makes you very unhappy". It struck a chord with me and I think about it a lot to this day. 2363
