For a long time, I didn’t think homeownership would be realistic for me.
Today, my wife and I officially became homeowners!
I talk a lot about systems and opportunity; this one feels personal.
Proud, grateful, and committed to planting real roots in the NY Capital Region.
One of my favorite parts of work from home is being able to cook lunch.

Avocado Toast with a Runny Fried Egg, Bacon, Mushrooms, Onions, Green Chiles & Garlic

Very proud of him! 🎲🎲
Countries that implement #UBI make immigration a greater net win for citizens.
Newcomers expand the tax base that funds the dividend, while gaining stronger incentives to enter legally and eventually naturalize.
Yup, I’m a Centrist Liberal with a focus on Distributism (UBI, Universal Healthcare, Paid Leave, etc.)

The Right Wing doesn't really want small government.
They just want a massive one that punishes the people they hate (police state) instead of one that helps them (welfare state).

Sustains demand in recessions
Boosts local economies
Reduces inequality
Improves resilience to automation
Smooths regional disparities
#UBI
We won't have accountable law enforcement until officers, not taxpayers, face financial penalties for recklessness.
Mandate liability insurance for all officers to pay victims.
Reckless acts raise premiums.
If it becomes unaffordable, they shouldn't be cops, ICE agents, etc.
Universal Basic Income disproportionately helps the marginalized.
Cuts child poverty
Improves gender equity by supporting unpaid caregivers
Shrinks racial & regional income gaps #UBI
Universal Basic Income simplifies government by having fewer means tests:
Lower admin costs
Fewer exclusion errors
No work/marriage disincentives
Tougher for fraudsters to abuse

By lowering downside risk, Universal Basic Income enables startups, freelancing, creative work, and experimentation, especially small businesses who lack access to capital or safety nets. #UBI
Universal Basic Income boosts freedom & agency with an unconditional cash floor, free from means-tested welfare's bureaucracy, stigma & benefit cliffs, enabling risks, education, & ventures without survival worries.
Less short-term survival thinking
More long-term planning. #UBI
Income security from Universal Basic Income improves health.
Lower stress & better mental health, improved nutrition, and preventative primary care becomes more affordable #UBI
