Have Hope, because together we can do it, with many taking action! 🙌
Can anyone truly earn unlimited wealth through personal merit alone? I’d argue no, because that wealth depends on the work and contributions of many others. If it’s built on the efforts of society, then society has a stake in that accumulation. UBI is an efficient way to return some of that value
When you say civil service are you talking work requirement for UBI?
Just wondering has he looked into implementing UBI as a Monetary Policy.
Many countries did this in response to COVID for pandemic relief.
If it were, it circumvents budgets more as a social dividend.
A sign of a good society is one where no one lives just one crisis away from needing a GoFundMe to stay afloat
We talk about “the law” like it’s carved into the universe or ordained from above, but most of what governs our lives is simply what society has agreed is acceptable.
And when there’s uncertainty, we have a responsibility to stand up and show what we believe should be acceptable.
Things we need to see right now that make the world a better place:
Artemis II
Universal Basic Income
Release the Epstein files
What the hell is with all these negative bot replies!
8 million, I doubt is underreported for #nokings but still significant!
It was complaining about bframes being unsupported, I couldn't find it in OSB settings, but seems like a good feature to have?
Trying out Open Broadcaster Software and @stream.place for @basicincomeaction.org #UBI and some personal streams.
Got suggestions? Drop them below.
Let’s elect people who can be within 300 yards of a school
The problem is not your inability to budget. The problem is wage theft. #UBI
JOHN OLIVER: “JD Vance is right — Trump definitely revealed corruption like nobody else… in the same way nobody taught us more about a Ponzi Scheme than Bernie Madoff.”
Nah, I’d guess they’re both in bed together… maybe literally too. It’s a complicated and confusing relationship. So to release anything would expose himself. They’re just playing chicken while eroding “their” country.
“Effectively” /reaching
Behold, it doth bequeath thee irony, a mere rhetorical specter thou art bid not to grasp. Yet thou art the aggressor in thine own utterance, compelled to hear thine own folly echoed back.
ok #mentalhealth alert 🚨
Completely and utterly agree. Anyone else?
Same energy
Appreciate the reasoning, that’s reassuring… although even a small contingent is all it would probably take.
Calm down energy, no one’s calling for anything here. Other than higher gas prices because that’s the tipping point for most people, that we will unite on, IYAM
You’re not wrong: That would’ve been a good diplomatic approach to Russia for invading Ukraine
Alt text edit: middle box ‘F*ck NATO’, Bottom box ‘Iran War’
Man biking did this to self meme: first box young ma riding bike holding stick. Second box young man reaches forward puts stick through front wheel spokes. Third box he’s on the ground clutching his leg in agony wonder how this happened
Strongman vibes
Cold War 2.0 vs WWIII, difference is this round might include China
Okay here’s my Monday morning hot take before I head off to labor
Russia, China and North K deploy troops in Iran if US does
Russia alone would create a quagmire for the US
What’s your thoughts on this?
This is a energy i would give when people learn I’m in tech then ask to fix their tech. “Oh, so you want me to build you a deck now do ya” like I didn’t spend my weekend to learn that obscure terminal command to necessary help everyone I come across kinda vibe
*Don’t get me wrong I like helping
*the peoples of Iran
there fixed it
Won’t be able to steghide no more :P
"Nobody wants to work anymore!" says the class of people who live off dividends.
We destroyed their capabilities, yet somehow they’re moments away from using their capabilities.
Let me sum it up for you in the words of this generation: Six. Seven.
