UBI from sovereign wealth funds, like Alaska's dividend, is elegant and practical. If AI does the work, the public should get dividends.

Basic Income Action ↗️ @basicincomeaction.org · 28/08/2026
Every major UBI pilot, Finland, Kenya, Stockton, the Alaska dividend, shows employment holds steady or even rises slightly. People don't quit working when basic needs are covered. They leave exploitative jobs, or use the security to start businesses, retrain, or care for family.

July was the hottest month EVER RECORDED in the US. Wildfires burned across the country and their smoke made our air unbreathable. Communities were forced to remain indoors due to overwhelming heat. If we don't act now, this climate crisis will become deadlier than ever.

For decades, Republicans in Washington have told us that tax cuts would trickle down to workers. Instead, wealth and power have accumulated in the hands of the richest 1% at the expense of the rest of us. Trickle-down economics was never supposed to work. It was a hoax.

The way I see it, the only path forward is to institute a UBI, reduce the work week to 20 hours, reduce the retirement age to 50, and give everyone 4 weeks of vacation minimum. Anything less than that is only going to fail by the next election cycle

Trump has plastered his face on the Department of Justice. He's making a mockery of the DOJ's independence, and gloating about turning it into his personal revenge tool. How funny is it that a man convicted of 34 felonies wants to be the face of justice? Disgusting!

OUR GOVERNMENT IS WARNING AMERICANS NOT TO GO TO VENEZUELA BECAUSE THEY RISK "WRONGFUL DETENTION, KIDNAPPING, AND ARBITRARY ENFORCEMENT OF LAWS." HOW THE FUCK IS THAT DIFFERENT FROM HOW ICE THUGS ARE GOING APE-SHIT RIGHT HERE? THANK YOU FOR READING MY LATEST ANGRY POST. LINK IS HERE: bit.ly/49xwlHh
we really do live in the stupidest fucking timeline.

by the way, you have to love this line from the State Department’s warning.

    “Venezuela has the highest Travel Advisory level – Level 4: Do Not Travel – due to severe risks to Americans, including wrongful detention, torture in detention, terrorism, kidnapping, arbitrary enforcement of local laws, crime, civil unrest, and poor health infrastructure.”

did your irony detector just start shrieking? mine did — because you can replace ‘Venezuela’ with ‘Minneapolis’ and not have to change one word in the rest of that paragraph.

ace job, you assholes — you’ve turned an entire American city into a South-American-style banana republic.
