Exactly! Either introduce now or watch the blood that will run. Revolution is never pretty and many who are innocent lose.
Mass job loss makes nations unstable long before it makes them broke.
People without income turn restless.
People without direction turn dangerous.
If UBI doesn’t enter the conversation now, the conversation later will be about riots, repression, and regret.
History has already written this pattern.

This is also why universal basic income is such a good idea. Not only would it save money on the high costs of poverty, but it would grow GDP and reduce the costs of healthcare by reducing stress and improving physical and mental health.
To recap:
•Universal healthcare would save 68,000 lives & $450B annually
•Every $1 spent on SNAP results in $1.80 boost to local economies & small businesses
•The child tax credit decreased child poverty to a historic low of 5.2%, abolishing it increased it by 45%

Everyday lately I truly am losing what little hope I had in humans , wasn't much to begin with. Even in my own personal circle, I've lost respect lately for quite a few with their attitudes, their callousness and views on many things.Its depressing.

In 11 years, Marjorie Taylor Greene will turn 62 and start living with a basic income floor for the rest of her life of about $1,230 a month, thanks to having served 5 years in Congress.
5 years ago, her net worth was around $700k. It's now around $22 million.
Just some facts to know.

The fact the liberals are looking at cosying up to the Saudis tells me much about the moral center of this government. Ethics , morals mean nothing in the grand scheme of things , it's always will be about money , even if it's drenched in blood .

Most in the medical community have been way too polite with the malevolence of the actions of Kennedy Jr. In the United States. His actions and his directions are literally going to kill people, that is murder. In my opinion, he is nothing more than a serial killer in a suit .

Food Bank usage across Canada is up . Is the idea of Canada broken , no . But many things are broken and in need of repair.A sturdy house can have problems and have things break.You don't tear it down but look at what is broken and fix it properly.A UBI and radical change in social nets would work.

Zero problem with our arm forces getting better support (apparently after a push it happened in 100 days ) but when it comes to those on disability, help for lower income , you know us undesirables nothing. Never voting for liberals again who are just conservatives really.

I will not apologize for saying somethings in Canada are broken. But that doesn't mean I don't believe they can't be fixed by changing the current actions of governments at all levels .But I can't see things truly changing for the better when I see all current policies in play. We need true change.

I've learned over the last 5 years plus to argue with anti vaxxers and those that think climate change is a hoax is frankly wasted energy. They are so deep in a cultist mind set it's impossible to break through.

Why Canada’s proposed corporate tax relief is not the answer
Tax cuts are not what motivates investors or entrepreneurs, they’re not what creates jobs, and they undermine the things that do.
