Does Basic Income Cause Divorce? 50 Years of Evidence Says No. It’s a bit of a shame that many Americans feel uneasy about getting help from the government, even though they’re often okay with billions going to billionaires for special projects.

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.

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."

Hathliday in Utopia argued that when the king enclosed the commons he created unwilling criminals because it blocked people from the resources they needed to survive The death penalty for stealing bread didn’t work But if the theft of the commons caused crime the restoration would reverse 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.

The Year is 5030. The Four Millionth Test of UBI confirms that it works and does not make people not work, reduces poverty, improves mental health, and clears people's skin. It continues not to be adopted by any major political party. A new trial of the efficacy of UBI begins.

They claimed the land up, more than could every need or use, excluded everyone from it using the laws of man and violence and then demand a fee for it They didn’t create the Earth. And God, if he’s or she is fair, would say that everyone get a fair share of his creation. As would Mother Nature

I’ve argued among many others that you are not poor because of anything you’ve done but simply because you’ve been born later than other people into societies that operate exactly like the game of Monopoly Predecessors claimed up the land & resources nature meant for all & now price gouge its use

They say we’re better off than being ruled by kings but we have the same conditions: - closed commons are blockade of the public’s resources necessary for food and shelter. instead of dispossession of homelands people both today have no land to start - taxes are tribute - slave to work

If you are forced to pay tribute, do forced labor or a form of slavery to a single king or a group of people in a government what’s the difference? Without a UBI y a commons we still have oppressive domination: • Tribute (minhah) • Corvée / Forced labor (mas) • Chattel / wage slavery (ebed)
