Some guy a few thousand years ago stuck a fence in dirt and said "mine." No receipt. Every rent check since is interest on that bluff. UBI's not a handout. It's you finally getting cut in on what's still being denied you

We need UBI if only to instate the first underpinnings of social support that allows everyone to finally step away from "how is this going to make money" being the sole metric of how anything is considered worth undertaking

Why is it always regular people shouldn't get ubi because they might stop working and never why do billionaires keep working when they don't have to.

When I was a child in Nigeria, growing up under military rule, I had to see soldiers in uniforms roaming the streets with guns, it was always a tense sight. Now I am an adult in DC/America, under democratic rule, and I still have to see soldiers in uniform roaming the streets with guns...yeah

Don't forget folks: allowing yourself a vision of the future you'd want for our country and planet - not the one you'd settle for, not the one you fear, but the future of your dreams - isn't naive, it's a vital cognitive skill. That's how we articulate what we most value. What's worth fighting for.

As we step into the new year, may we carry forward the commitment to show up: to listen deeply, to act with courage and care, to speak truthfully, and to remember our interconnection with all beings.

TLDR: Trusting people with money not only improves their mental health but makes them trust the system. As someone who grew up in a family small business and seeing what an impact trusting someone to be a cashier had on them, I don't doubt this at all. UBI is the only path forward in our society.

New research from Finland's basic income experiment proves that simply trusting people with money—not just the money itself—significantly improves mental health

What would humans do if they had a universal basic income? They would find meaning in all the things that society currently doesn’t value. Not because those things are inherently without value – but because markets don’t always accurately value all human endeavors.

The fascists have fully convinced a lot of people—including almost all elected Democrats—that they will punish us if we do anything effective to stop the spread of fascism. But here’s the thing. If fascism spreads, they will punish us anyway. So we have to do the things that threaten their power.

If you say that America is poised to institutionalize a police state - that the reality of concentration camps and regularized disappearances will become an ongoing facet of life - you'll still receive eye-rolls and clucked tongues. But that is not a possibility of this budget, it is the purpose.

If you think it can’t happen here, remember that it already did. In 1942 soldiers came with rifles to our home and ordered us out. They put us in internment camps. Most of us were citizens.

Universal basic income means people could dedicate their lives to helping others and still be able to live. Could you imagine what a world like that would look like?

Like I've said before, if you have any doubts about climate change, just go to a super-boring insurance conference and listen to the super-boring panels where they dryly talk about the growing threat of disasters so catastrophic and unpredictable in scope they simply cannot be insured at any price.

UBI makes sense when you have the mindset "that we are all interconnected". As AI changes our world, we have to change how we relate to one another. "Everyone has worth" is a good place to start.
