Whenever a celebrity is able to 'overcome' a disability, isn't it curious that the chosen narrative is always 'wow look what disabled people can do if they try hard enough' rather than 'wow look what disabled people can do if they get first class treatment and support'.

Fear of women divorcing men helped kill passage of basic income law back in the 1970s. Not only was that conclusion in error, but it turned out it improved relationships. Since then, the evidence has only deepened that the power to exit it provides leads to better relationships and far less abuse.

scottsantens.substack.com

Does Basic Income Cause Divorce? 50 Years of Evidence Says No.

The 1970s fear that UBI breaks up families came from a statistical error. Finland, Canada, Kenya, and Alaska show no rise in divorce, and instead better relationships with less domestic violence.
