Unconditional basic income works. We have the studies. We have the data. What we don't have yet is the will. I think we can build it. I know we have to try. I know we have to fight for it. It's certainly not going to be handed to us by those who will definitely pay more in taxes as part of the deal.
"Having an [unconditional basic income] was such an eye-opening and different experience for them that really moved them forward in ways that are tangible, but aren’t as popular or sexy to talk about in policy...
If someone’s telling you it’s changed their life, you need to listen to them."

Except it is false.
How evil is the pervasive lies are at poisoning minds.
Thats evil for sure
Is it Tel Aviv - (script a bit vague and tiny)
Actually, if not mistaken, Yaffa (later, Tal Abeeb/Tel Aviv), ca. 1930s.
I have noticed this platform has become toxic - full of anger and hate.
The feel good vibes of BlueSky lasted a while month???
Do you know anything about this conflict ? Maybe you should ask some Iranians who fled the terrorist-islamist regime a few years ago...
A lot of "this isn't America" in the replies, to which I must unfortunately respond that allegedly esteemed institutions bootlicking for Far Right groups. This is exactly what America is and was designed to be.
Perhaps cuz you've no interest in truth. British writer Melanie Phillips explains the truth -not hyperbolic falsehoods.
You dont realize if Israel ceased to exist, your way of life would cease cuz Iran would put Sharia law into effect in ME & then the West. You'd be 100% vulnerable

GOOD NEWS: Arab media reports that Hamas is losing control of Gaza.
Gazans have reportedly taken over warehouses where Hamas was stockpiling stolen aid.
Without that aid, Hamas lacks the funds to recruit new terrorists and can no longer control the population through food.
Too many on this platform are HAMAS apologists - useful idiots in HAMAS' propaganda wars.
A priori assumption is that this is a conflict where 2 peoples want the same land.
FALSE. One side - HAMAS - has stated over and over and over again it wants to destroy JEWS.

The deeper meaning behind "almost no healthy children die of the measles" is that, when children do die of the measles, it's only ever because they were already ill. And the deeper meaning behind that is "well, we can't save 'em all." And that's just...17th century thinking.
"I have been in the same room with Elon, and he always tries to be funny.
And he's not funny. Like, at all," a senior Trump official told Rolling Stone.

In Moscow no hint of compromise. Russia continues to attack Ukraine. One Russian newspaper this week told European leaders to "breathe in the smell of the new world order." My thoughts on the last two weeks.
Congrats to the federal government on becoming the chief HR officer of every company
