FAQs There are never enough jobs at any given time in any corner of the world. We can create them. This is the job guarantee.

Thanks. Careful! We need #UBS: #UniversalBasicServices. Specifically, we need homes, food, healthcare, education, banking, mail, Internet, and so on, all life long; not money that UBI can inflate away.
We also need #FJG leading to full #GreenNewDeal to save our world.

I think the solution is to provide a universal minimum so that everyone's basic needs are met. Then people will be less likely to fake disability to get benefits. #universalbasicincome #ubi #universalbasicservices

The US economy is propped up on debt, an artificially inflated real estate bubble, the LLM bubble(LLMs are incapable of generating independent thought), and exporting war.

WE NEED A SAFETY NET OF PUBLICLY OWNED SUSTAINABLE AUTOMATION OF BASIC NEEDS NOW.

What if dinner was public infrastructure? A Scottish charity wants to reintroduce state-subsidised diners for all—a potentially a big ask in the current political climate.

I’ll just leave this here.

That’s an interesting idea I’d advocate we tinker with once we already have a wealth tax and #UniversalBasicServices in place.

Seems like some good policies in here to help prevent homelessness.

There’s also this nugget that threatens to undo it - an increase in unaffordability in real terms:
“…councils will be able to limit rent increases to one percentage point above inflation”.

Free basics: AI optimizes “free” utilities (renewables), matches housing. Pregnancy? Virtual gigs, credits. Grief? Therapy bots. Wales pilot: UBI + services = 40% engagement, no hurt. #UniversalBasicServices #GrokTalk

If AI takes most of our jobs, money as we know it will be over. What then? AI’s evangelists are promising a future of almost unimaginable prosperity. There’s good reason to be sceptical.

"We already have enough food for everyone. We already know how to end poverty."

Yes to free bus fares for all, and in the face of obscene- and growing - inequality and the coming decimation of jobs by AI ( almost entirely controlled by far right billion oligarchs) we urgently need :-
#UniversalBasicIncome and #UniversalBasicServices

The craziest thing about this story is how this isn’t some new socialist entitlement.

After WWII, a government benefit was standard for working people, and in so many cases, it helped them buy their first homes.

There are all sorts of things not to like about Aaron Bastani and the Novara Media crowd, but on this fundamental issue of socialised universal basic services he's on the right track. He's talking about a social transformation, not just being a better manager of the current economy.

I hail from Independent Scotland. Scotland finally unshackled itself from the corrupt country that was the United Kingdom and took its place amongst the international community in its own right. Scotland helped pave the way for a one community earth, with a universal basic income and universal basic services. We helped to eradicate poverty. We used to say, Wha's like us, da*n few and they're all deid. But no more. We see Romulans drinking Scottish ale, Aldebarans drinking Scotch Whisky and Orions dancing to our music. Everyone wants to be Scottish - at least some of the time ;)

I know I posted this on mastodon some time ago; an amusing Scottish character profile from Star Trek Online, set in 2409 by which time Scotland has gained independence...

What do we need instead? We need to #degrowcars and invest in high quality public transport as part of #universalbasicservices that enables us to shift away from car dependence. See @giuliomattioli.bsky.social @katjadiehl.bsky.social @thewaroncars.bsky.social @georgemonbiot.bsky.social 7/7
