The #UBI is called #unconditional in the EU and #universal in the US. It is about giving all people a basic income floor without obligations to work, without testing on income from labour or dividends, high enough to live on without poverty, free from control on spending. #basicincome

We're seeing fewer decent-paid jobs and the need for universal basic income as we install more machines that replace former high-level work

We’re richer and more productive than ever — so why do so many people like they're treading water? Real progress isn’t just more growth, it’s giving people security and freedom to live well #BasicIncome

The world has gotten richer — so, why aren’t we happier?
Technological progress and economic growth are preconditions for human happiness, not a guarantee.

In a time when both old political guards put labour on a pedestal, no other concept maintains a stance on absolute unconditionality.

Exactly. The arguments that #BasicIncome will let people sit around and do "nothing" are firmly rooted in the LIE that the only appropriate adult human activity is selling your labor to others, and JEALOUSY that someone else might not have to work themselves to the bone.
What do you mean by "nothing"? I think it will allow people the freedom to create: to write, paint, sculpt, sing, all the other wonderful human endeavors that we tend to lack time for while working 60+ hours and still go broke. That's far from nothing.

I would do this:
If we had #BasicIncome and #3DayWorkWeek that would reduce our pollutions by 40% and traffic by 50% if half of us work first 3 days and the other half the next 3 days of the week, all of us would have 4 day weekend every week and #ClimateCrisis wouldn’t exist.

#BasicIncome could be a reality today without additional cost to the budget. Congress would need to make a law for this.
Not through random tariffs and taxes but by directly issuing from the Fed and raising interest rates to combat inflation.
