Based on 2025 poverty guidelines, a universal basic income would need to be set at around $1300/mo per adult and $450/mo per kid to essentially abolish poverty in the US. The net cost of creating such a poverty-ending UBI floor would also end the trillions a year we spend on all effects of poverty.

Men's current "gender panic" is really just the realization that women, for the first time in history, have actual legal and material freedom to live independently from them.
And this means that the unpaid domestic and sexual labor their entire identities rely on, is vanishing before their eyes.

Men seem to be under the mistaken impression that women need them more than they need women, and the rage at childless cat ladies and women in the workplace is because it gives lie to that idea.
Yeah...nah

If you post or repost gAI imagery, I will unfollow you. It is anti-human anti-environment and pro-oligarchy. We need to do far better.

The world need not be as it is. It can be different.
Corporations can and should make less money.
Billionaires should not exist.
Your worth is not based on your ability to produce capital labor or consume.
Other people can and should be able to make choices you wouldn't.

Seems that the context for every Frog and Toad quote is them trying to figure out how to come out to each other. It’s an adorable awkwardness of friendship and love.💚

This action should — must! — also include NO CLICKS. On the internet clicks equal profit, so let’s all just spend the day offline. Go for a hike! Mend something! Make love not war!
I know there have been a fair number of conflicting dates, so, let's organize and settle on February 28th to start.
Market Blackout. No buying. No major retailers. No Amazon.
For one day, we grind consumerism to a halt. (And with a little planning, this shouldn't be hard.)
