Just goes to show how they can easily come up with reasoning to support universal basic income when they want to. Yes, UBI is a dividend for shareholders. As citizens, we are all shareholders. Also, we ALL created the capital that AI is trained on. We should all be paid a GDP dividend EVERY MONTH.

Just keep putting them right back up. That's what I would be doing. I'm very stubborn that way and would enjoy getting under ICE Thugs skin

"The unemployment rate has reached a four-year high, job openings are at a four-year low, and leading members of Trump’s own economic team have gone so far as to concede in recent weeks that parts of the U.S. economy are already in recession..." www.ms.now/rachel-maddo...

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.

One of the reasons we need universal basic income plus higher taxes on the rich is to boost the spending power of the bottom 60% and in doing so, reorient our economy around the needs of the majority of people who comprise it. As inequality has increased, our economy has adjusted to meet rich wants.

Brazil provides an unconditional monthly income for life to the daughters of military parents who've died that on median is equal to $2,250/mo and where some go up to $15k a month. Based on 30,400 daughters a recent study found that a UBI of $1,300/mo could likely decrease earnings by close to zero.

Wild how paying citizens a livable baseline is ‘socialism,’ but subsidizing corporations for decades is just called ‘economic policy.’ #UBI4ALL

Again, Trump knows that sending money to everyone is popular. He even recognizes the politics of excluding the rich, but of course he doesn't comprehend why taxes on the rich should serve that function, and of course he is lying about actually doing this. Dems should push for universal basic income.

The only thing Pramila Jayapal advocated for was peaceful protest (watch the video) which is an essential part of our democracy. She was met with a violent call to be executed. These types of threats have no place in our country.

this is wild: while Stephen Miller's guy was in Minnesota for his uncle's funeral, somebody was able to see his entire phone and take pictures of his Signal group chats talking about military deployments to Portland, and brought them to the Strib (gift link: www.startribune.com/trump-offici...)

UBI now - make the price gouging, exploitative corporations pay for it. End Citizens United. End Stock Buybacks. Universal healthcare/medicare for all. Release the goddamned #Epstein files.

Man alive. I have studied Right Wing authoritarianism for years and have watched some truly fucked up shit and today’s memorial service is maybe the most concentrated example of how messed up and disturbing that sector truly is.

It would be a urinal, and he knows it. They won’t bother. He won’t be in a national cemetery either.

His grave site will smell like a New York City subway station in the middle of an August heat wave. I cannot wait to go cop-a-squat.

- #PamelasAntimagatsHumor When he dies, it will not be necessary for him to lie in state. He has already lied in every state he's been in. -

I don’t have to mourn him at all. He didn’t deserve to die but I don’t have to mourn him

They’ve built their Utopia on our labor, time, and lives. My dad died a year before he’d have collected HIS money. They stole his and millions of others’ lives. Work and death. We are owed. UBI is the least they can do after all this trauma.

The richest 400 Americans gained enough new wealth in the past year to have provided every adult citizen with about $400 a month in universal basic income. That would cut poverty in half. We are making a choice as a society to give a small number of people essentially infinite access to resources.

The Judge in the USA has dismissed the terrorism charge against Luigi Mangione, citing a lack of evidence. The collapse of the case against him begins.

Today, RFK, Jr., USDA, and other leaders at HHS released the final "MAHA" Report, but the only thing this plan seems to make healthy again is industry profits, while ignoring the actual causes of chronic diseases and proven interventions. From CSPI president @drpeterlurie.bsky.social 👇

Imagine all the possible geniuses, thousands, born without the resources. Born with the wrong parents. The wrong community. With ubi, there would be fewer "wrong" parents and fewer "wrong" communities. Because people would have the funds to care for themselves.

How might Universal Basic Income (UBI) redefine "work" for you personally? Think about career choices, your daily routine, the way you balance work and leisure, etc. What new opportunities might open up for you?
