- #UBI Undoubtedly Brilliant Idea
- Another day with a stupid op-ed about how we shouldn't talk about UBI, and another day with yet more results that simply providing people with basic income is a positive good in and of itself, that reduces stress and substance abuse, and enables people to pursue their education and employment goals.
- Never has there ever been a #UBI study that failed to make economies, people's lives better, for less money than other social programs.
- Can 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
- Universal basic income is too serious a matter to leave to economists: "the research reveals that #ubi secures daily survival, improves performance of daily occupations, increases care and social engagement, and raises hope through opportunities to choose and plan for the future." @scottsantens.com
- Germany gave people €1,200/month no strings attached. They kept working, slept better, switched to better jobs, and even gave more to others. Turns out, when people aren’t drowning, they swim further. #UBI doesn’t kill ambition, it frees it.
