Amanda Roos @amandaroos.bsky.social · 07/10/2026Everyone deserves to be financially stable enough to leave abusive relationships. That can be abusive romantic partnerships or abusive work environments. Universal basic income would help everyone be able to leave abusive relationships. Billionaires don't want that. Religions don't want that. 15323
