A BlueSky thread by Scott Santens on Skyview I've been researching the idea of Unconditional Universal Basic Income since 2013. Here's a collection of findings I've compiled from various UBI experiments and studies of cash transfer programs arou...

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.

I’m reading this lawsuit Kash filed against The Atlantic. I’m struggling to find where they were wrong.

Today's winner of the Internet. Congratulations!

But don't forget also those weekend jaunts to his Muskoka cottage mansion.

If he thought he could use our money to buy himself a private jet just imagine what's on his phone records he doesn't want us to see.

This👇🏼. AOC is the only one stating it clearly and plainly. Do I have any faith that the American people will ever elect a woman president someday? No. I hope I’m proven wrong.

“The U.S. has changed, and we must respond.” No hedging. No “our American friends.” Just a clean acknowledgement that the country on the other side of the border is not the country we thought we knew."

My goverments bin so busy pertecting Ontario we axidentally bought a privutt jet but I am for the people and I like to jump in my truck and go talk to regular folks so I desided I don't need a jet and now that we got caught with it we will sell it for parts like Ontario.

Ah, the lovely susurration of new wiper blades!

Yes. And as a patient you shouldn't even have to pay for parking. We need to fix that.

Carbon tax stickers that don't stick. License plates you can't see. Beeping Covid bracelets that don't exist. Wind turbines torn down and then built again. An Ontario Science Centre roof that refuses to collapse.

Are we even sure Doug's new private jet has wings?

The head of the FBI isn't supposed to be getting blackout drunk. He's supposed to be cross-dressing

I don't recall any previous transformative technologies that had to be sold to the public so hard. No one in 1999 was going, "Guys. Cell phone? It's coming, whether we like it or not. I think it's important, FOR WOMEN ESPECIALLY, to learn about cell phone. So that we're not left behind!!"

I do not want to create an account or open a subscription I just want to buy a thing and never hear from you again why is this so hard.
