- Reposted by BethanyUBI debates must separate gross vs net cost. In the US, a $16k adult / $8k child UBI has a $4.86T gross cost, but a $605.5B net cost after offsets. Therefor, the real cost is about one-seventh of the headline number.
- Reposted by BethanyCan we take a moment to really think about exactly what UBI would accomplish? Universal Basic Income provides workers with leverage. It would allow me to tell employers "sorry, this pay-rate is too low, I'm going to keep withholding my labor until your pay-rate improves." #UBI

- Reposted by BethanyEven Monopoly realizes society doesn’t work without universal basic wealth (starting cash) and universal basic income (GO money).
- Reposted by BethanyThe "monetize your passion" advice is a capitalist trap. Art made purely for profit becomes product, not creation. The best work comes from artists who have space to explore without every piece needing ROI. We need universal basic income so people can create without starving.

You should have healthcare, you should have housing, you should have a universal basic income that sustains your ability to live in the world, and everyone who keeps telling you these things are unreasonable is either listed in a big stack of documents together or is actively protecting them. - Reposted by BethanyVery excited to be doing a bit of live theatre for the first time in a long time.

- Reposted by BethanyUniversal Basic Income is a floor. It's a foundation. By providing EVERYONE some amount of money EVERY month as a RIGHT, it enables everyone to then choose whatever work they feel fits them best—paid or unpaid—and empowers everyone with the freedom to say NO until their conditions to say YES are met
