If we don’t get a UBI we will show up on your doorstep when our job is outsourced or replaced by AI”
USA’s loss is our gain. Maybe hosting it here will wake @mark-carney.bsky.social up that we need UBI in our rapidly changing tech era. @leahgazan.bsky.social pointed the way with her minimum guaranteed income bill years ago (I think it was a Private Member’s Bill.)

Mr Smith put down his pen as his secretary walked in the door

“I figured out poverty. I’m the cause of it and the solution to it.” he said

He had just wrote out the paychecks for his 200 workers

“What’s that?”

“Well, I own the factory, the apartments and the land around here.”

“And?”

“That’s the cause of it all”

“Private property?”

“Not in everything but in land. There’s good private property and there’s bad private property”

“What do you mean? How can you tell the difference?”

“All share a space”

“Let’s let humans decide how much land they can have”

“What if some humans don’t let other humans have any land?”

“Don’t say such things. There is nothing as sick as that. If the day ever comes that humans do not allow other humans earth it would no longer be earth but hell“

Then one day all the psychopathic people died

And the people & leadership said, “We have robots doing all the work now. We will all die without giving people money or land”

So they decided to give everyone money per month

They said, “Take this & go make the world & your world a better place”

Here’s what you say, “We fucked up. We weren’t honest. We were deceptive and manipulative.“

There is over 200+ hundred years of research on how poverty is a social issue and not an individual failing yet it never changes

This is because the people in leadership do not want anything to change

If they did it would be done instantly

See the Cares Act where $4T was created out of thin air
The term "welfare dependency" is itself controversial, often carrying derogatory connotations or insinuations that the recipient is unwilling to work (or un-incentivised)

To these people their hope is death

The test that this is hell is there are no suicide booths

The test that the US is a callous psychopathic nation is there are no suicide booths

They oppose the right to die
They don’t care if you’re suffering
…many have been made miserable by it and worse…

As Henry George stated, the way things are defined now, …people cannot get into a worse state…a worse state would be to exit life altogether

The ones who are at fault are the ones who prevent progressive changes

…the preventers…the opposers

I used to not care how much money other people had but the concentration of wealth and the lack of support of basic necessities and upward mobility creates a power imbalance that creates a sort of hell and corruption in society and state

Are you indiscriminate?

Nature is indiscriminate

“The rain water falls on everyone unconditionally”

If you are indiscriminate, unbiased and unracist you are more intelligent than the next person

A UBI is a form of social progress
A UBI can be seen as humanities progress

If a society has a UBI it can be considered to have progressed to the level of nature and care of Nature

- It provides for all like Nature provides for all indiscriminately

If a society has a UBI it can be considered more civilized than those societies w/o
There’s a quote in the Bible that goes, “The rain falls on the just and the unjust…”

Meaning that nature gives water to everyone no matter who they are or what they’ve done

Natures message is that basic necessities are unconditional, universal y meant for all

"There is one notable group that does not support universal basic income: those with higher levels of racial resentment... Racial prejudice continues to fuel opposition to universal basic income, as well as other forms of social welfare. But our research suggests that this is not insurmountable."

Martin Luther King Jr. was ahead of his time in pushing for universal basic income
The policy of providing guaranteed cash incomes has gained momentum in recent years. This tool to tackle inequality has the potential to address racial resentment.

“Why do you keep bringing up opening up the commons?”

Because that is a root cause of poverty

Without a home many rent. That is an expense that takes away income

Owning your own home is like giving yourself a monthly rent payment. It’s half the problem

And a UBI allows you to break even

The benefit to the forty-niners was that the gold was simply "free for the taking" at first.

In the goldfields at the beginning, there was no private property, no licensing fees, and no taxes.

The miners informally adapted Mexican mining law that had existed in California.
At the beginning of the gold rush, there was no law regarding property rights in the goldfields and a system of "staking claims" was developed.”

When people go to city council meetings they should have as much power as the city council

Vote for the laws they believe in
Write the laws they believe in
Review or fire the people not doing their job
We got rid of kings and barons so that the people could rule and decide their own fate and self determination

Having mayors, city councils, governors, senators and a president defeats the purpose of “we the people”

A UBI makes it possible to avoid or say no to evil jobs
Unconditional basic income is "fuck that job" money.

Want a more ethical society? Start by making all jobs voluntary.
"They were doing their jobs"

It's a bad job... Fuck that job

The entire world should quit everything including working until it gets a UBI

Quit creating, quit working, quit going to school, quit serving, especially quit taking orders from wealthy or government, quit everything until there is a UBI
