UBIs = Highly Productive Capital Investments
There has literally never been a universal basic income trial program that didn't deliver real and measurable results above and beyond any other form of social welfare, and every time another concludes with the same findings the powers that be go "interesting! Anyway," and pretend it wouldn't work.

Very interesting Financial Times interview of Branko Milanović, although I think that rather than globalization having killed neoliberalism, as the title implies, it is neoliberalism that may killed globalization.

The Coast Guard will no longer classify swastikas and nooses as hate symbols.
This action, coupled with the President's call to hang Democratic members of Congress - both in the past few hrs - are more than "potentially divisive."
They are vile, unconscionable, and dangerous.

In either case, getting consumption to grow so much faster than GDP requires huge implicit or explicit transfers from government and businesses to the household sector. It is hard to imagine how such transfers wouldn't undermine either the economy, or political institutions...

Charlotte’s Web is a book about expanding spheres of empathy and solidarity, as Rorty would say. It’s not a book about hunting/abducting brown people driving to work.
