"France jettisoning neoliberalism" assumes the problem was the ideology, not the constraint. The real shift: treating real resources and employment as the binding limits, not the deficit. That's not post-neoliberal. That's MMT. #MMT #UKGreenParty #Economics #UKPolitics #EUEconomics

Is France signalling the end of neoliberalism? As a matter of fact, people will only stand for abuse from a financial system designed to oppress them for so long. France and maybe Spain seem to be indicating they've had enough. youtu.be/CpRl1ajsj-k?...

One of the knock-on benefits of Universal Basic income, would be that people would not need to waste time on forms, and could use that time for projects, growing vegetables and many many more things.

"Being poor is actually a full-time job & being
broke is like a full-time job with the amount of
paperwork and the time going from office to
office proving what you have done.

With Universal Basic Income all that would
be eliminated with the time liberated to do
something socially productive."

Lower income people don’t have family money to fall back on so don’t take a risk on creative, educational or business pursuits. Research on populations with Universal Basic Income show they take those risks knowing they have monetary support & their communities benefit from it.

I think we should start painting everyone who is against UBI as soft on crime. Crime stems largely from desperation. Give people some real hope to improve their lives and crime will go down. Also the billionaires are driving people to desperation and causing the crime.

People are very good at finding and creating meaning when given the bare minimum agency to do so. As evidence, consider that every UBI experiment finds that people on UBI produce more. Our society and global economy is exquisitely structured to deprive the maximum number of people of that agency.
