LFG ✊🏼

The evidence is in favour of basic income pro-freedom, pro-safety, pro-family, pro-entrepreneurship, pro-jobs, pro-market, pro-dignity That's what they'll learn

BREAKING: Canadian Senate Bill S-206 for a Guaranteed Livable Basic Income passed Second Reading and will be sent to Committee News Release: Senate Committee to Study Guaranteed Livable Basic Income — Senator Kim Pate 🤩

What happens when human labour no longer has economic value due to AI, and how does UBI fit in? We sat down with @daveshap.bsky.social and Dalibor Petrovic, two people leading the frontier of post-labour economics. www.youtube.com/watch?v=jX21...

A large group of organizations across Canada supported this statement, pointing out the need for and absence of a BIG in the fed's budget: Canada’s Most Important Capital Is Human —To Build Canada Strong, Guarantee a Basic Income FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE OTTAWA, NOVEMBER 4, 2025

Creator of Magic: The Gathering (world's first and most successful trading card game) says UBI increases opportunities to get ahead with work and new businesses.

Bernie dropped a video saying AI will wipe out the working class Proposed a few reasonable solutions: - robot tax - 32-hr workweeks - giving workers an equity stake - worker representation on boards UBI fits right in

Much like dictatorship or climate change, the threat of AI taking your job is no longer hypothetical. It's here, as shown by last week's bloodbath at UPS, Amazon, etc. Should the government be sending us $1,000 a month? Is there any alternative to UBI? My new column www.inquirer.com/columnists/a...

AI and robotics will transform our world. Will these revolutionary technologies make life better for working people, or will they simply make the richest people on Earth even richer and more powerful? That is the great question of our time.

BREAKING🍁: 2025 Report of the National Advisory Council on Poverty recommends a basic income floor to ensure everyone reaches at least the poverty line This is pretty reasonable.

It's doesn't seem right that a highrise should pay more than a vacant lot next to it. Just another adverse incentive in our property system that LVT addresses.

This is also pretty mainstream centrist policy

BREAKING🍁: 2025 Report of the National Advisory Council on Poverty recommends a basic income floor to ensure everyone reaches at least the poverty line This is pretty reasonable.

A tax credit for everyone, rich and poor alike. Clean and neutral way to introduce a UBI.

Might be a good time to start talking about UBI

Amazon's plan to replace 600,000 workers with AI and robots could save it $10 billion on top of billions more in tax breaks. Today, I demanded answers from Jeff Bezos: Will you simply dump these workers out on the street, or will you treat them with the dignity they deserve?

I feel like I wrote two books about this... And one of the biggest recommendations in both versions of Will AI Take My Job? was that governments need to start phasing in UBI now! If we experience Job Cascade Failure from AI layoffs, then it will be too late.

"Canada's basic income superhero" 🍁

CBC The National on our team's work @ubiworks.bsky.social We're already seeing increasing reports of companies firing, or not hiring, because of AI. We all know what's coming. All paths to a bright future lead to UBI.

Basic income is just using existing money in the economy more efficiently.

I was interviewed for an article for UBC (União Brasileira de Compositores) — Brazil’s non-profit collective management organization for music rights holders — about Ireland's soon to be permanent basic income for artists program. This is the English translation of the article written in Portugese.

Hell yeah. Now let's do this for every person on the planet.

Imagine living in a country that values and nurtures the creative community.

This article about Amazon's "cobot" plan to roboticize their warehouses makes no mention of the only concept that will make this work: UBI (Universal Basic Income) and its variants. We must get serious about this to avoid descent into a degraded dystopia. #SavePeople www.nytimes.com/2025/10/21/t...

During the 2017-19 ON Basic Income Pilot , 1 of 3 participants went back to school/upgraded their skills. 1 of 3 used the funds to pay for transportation, childcare or invested in a business. Half had fewer health problems. 3 of 5 improved their housing. open.substack.com/pub/doreenn/...

Leaked internal documents show that Amazon's goal is to automate 75% of its operations by 2033, negating the need to hire 600,000 workers over that timespan. They also plan to avoid using terms like AI and automation and instead use "advanced technology" and "cobot." No mention of any UBI lobbying.

Call your rep! Universal Basic Income NOW.

I've worked in Social Services for years. I deal with a population who cannot plan for their future because it is so uncertain. They cannot step back & catch their breath because their poverty causes them to live in a reactive state. And now the US government is taking away their food!

With basic income, we're not just surviving—we're building a future where everyone can thrive. That's the power of economic freedom.

A senior's plea for basic dignity and basic income

Basic Income will help us Build a Strong Canada.

Basic Income will help us Build a Strong Canada.

If we want to thrive in an economy that becomes even more digital, it means we need to fund for our physical needs too. People still need clothing, food, shelter, access to health care to keep that economy thriving. An economic floor ensures people have what they need to innovate for the common good

McGill alumnus Peter Howitt awarded 2025 Nobel Prize in Economics for work on innovation and growth. Here’s Peter on the risks of AI replacing jobs:

No matter where AI takes us This thread is 💯

I believe AI will create massive wealth and potential for humankind to flourish. But no matter, what we can all anticipate that the gains will be extremely uneven—perhaps more than any technological revolution that came before. And this is true even if there isn't rapid and sudden mass job loss. 🧵

New study of Iran's almost-UBI shows that replacing fossil fuel subsidies with a universal and unconditional cash transfer reduces consumption inequality by 8% per $30/mo per person. Study by @alimok.bsky.social www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

Maybe listen to the Nobel Prize winner whose work made AI like ChatGPT possible… when he says UBI will be necessary?

Many in the Canadian basic income movement brushed this off until as recently as 2 years ago, when chatGPT became the fastest product to 100M users Now everyone's talking about it

Bernie dropped this video saying AI will wipe out the working class. “Millions of jobs will be eliminated. This is not science fiction. It’s already happening.” The UBI movement has been saying this for years.

The artificial intelligence and robotics being developed by multi-billionaires will allow corporate America to wipe out tens of millions of decent-paying jobs, cut labor costs and boost profits. What happens to working class people who can’t find jobs because they don’t exist?

poverty drains our health and potential an income floor restores it, letting families thrive and communities strengthen that's the real return on investment

@ubiworks.bsky.social The Godfather of AI supports UBI. Everyone should.

Yes - because it works across Canada already "there is clear, strong evidence to show that when people feel they have a secure income, they have the opportunity to get the education and employment that can better their lives and their families"

The Great Decoupling of - GDP vs. wages - Labour productivity vs. wages - and now job openings vs. market performance All are accelerated by automation 🧵
