This is unsustainable, especially now that billionaires are taking over our government.

this is so perfect youve gotta think it was intentional

FACT! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼

Yes. By their very existence, they are deeply immoral entities. They should not exist, and the necessary efforts, actions, nd mindset to become one are morally reprehensible. There. Are. No. Ethical. Billionaires

This smells a lot like what UnitedHealthCare has been doing. Use an AI to deny a shit ton of people in need. It's being described as a "hurt first, fix later" approach. Stop being worried about welfare fraud by just doing universal basic income and taxing those with high incomes more than the UBI!

In the Namibia universal basic income experiment that lasted two years, crime dropped by 42%. Animal poaching dropped by 95%. In Canada's Dauphin pilot of a basic income guarantee where poverty in an entire town was eradicated for four years, crime dropped by 15% and violent crime dropped by 37%.

This has happened at least three times that I know of: A gender-clinic insider comes forward with lurid, non-specific stories of rushed transitions and botched assessments. As soon as anyone engages with actual patients and statistics, however, the allegations fall apart.

murder is an awful answer for being a teenager buying Skittles, or for being a man rumored to have passed a fake $20, or for being a lady asleep in her bed, and yet here we all are

There’s one clear answer to “how we got here” and it’s this.

This could be a game-changer for a lot of folks.

i promise you have have far more in common with every trans person than you do with the corporate or government elite

Another ⬇️ crucial piece of the puzzle, highlighting the urgent need to heavily tax the ultra-rich and dismantle oligarchy to restore the power to the people. #Democracy #Limitarianism #WealthTax

This a good explainer about the differences between negative income taxes and universal basic income.

I'm not here for everyone's wrapped unless it's Nintendo or Steam games. #BoycottSpotify Might have to start muting people or blacklist "Spotify" and "wrapped" for the next few days...

Pick a movie, keep one actor, rest are Muppets. Everything Everywhere all at Once, keep Ke Huy Quan (Waymond).

The 300 Whole Foods workers forming a historic union in Philly know what they're up against. They called out "the company’s thirst for profits" and said management talks about the store bringing in $1.6 million in a matter of days while workers struggle. substack.perfectunion.us/p/meet-the-w...

The world’s richest 1% have more wealth than the bottom 95% put together, according to Oxfam. There is no moral justification for this extraordinary level of inequality. It's distorting politics, rigging our markets, and granting unprecedented power to a handful of people.

It really can't be stated enough how the AI craze is rooted deeply in utter vitriolic disrespect for the working class. Like I've seen multiple cases of this tech being marketed directly on sticking it to us filthy poors who want things like "benefits" and "fair pay for our labor"

pretty grim when health insurance company executives have to try to hide their identities online like they're public school history teachers, government employees or doctors who care for transgender people

“Both Tesla and SpaceX quite likely would not exist as successful businesses if it were not for the use of public funding, either through subsidies, through the electric car industry, or through actual government contracting in the case of SpaceX,” Ramaswamy said in 2022 on a Fox News podcast.

2024 currently has more known games industry layoffs than 2023+2022 combined. 2024 is roughly 600 layoffs away from doubling 2023. There is still plenty of business days left in the month. I can't emphasize enough how extreme these last few years have been. So far.

........ Why am I only just now realising that UBI is actually literal wealth redistribution It makes *sense* Considering a system where wealth is concentrated, taxing everyone on a progressive scale then ensuring everyone gets a stipend forces some of that wealth to move back through the system.

I’m just getting fed up with the government (and SCOTUS) telling people what they can and can’t do with their own damn bodies. It has to stop.

Pediatric Endocrinologist here. I have repeatedly seen the life saving effects of trans care. I promise that our team will continue to advocate for the rights of trans people of all ages. As a Jew, I know what it looks like when “first they came for….” and no one spoke up. I won’t be silent

The best ornament

daily reminder that your government could tax polluters and roll out a universal basic income tomorrow, solving poverty and sustainability, but instead they choose to allow a small class of people to hoard more and more wealth whilst the planet crumbles

We need more dumb devices, like a smart home that's actually just a single control panel for your devices that's not connected to the internet or your phone and doesn't extract your data for limitless capitalisation of personal info. just make a good remote.

Blue Cross Blue Shield in Connecticut, New York and Missouri has declared it will no longer pay for anesthesia for the full length of some surgeries. It the procedure goes over a certain time, anesthesia will not be covered for the duration. www.asahq.org/about-asa/ne...

A new study from the #LSE reveals the brutal truth: 50 yrs of #US tax cuts, which promised to 'trickle down' and boost jobs and income for everyone, have only served one purpose—to enrich the wealthy. It's time to demand justice and build an economy that works for everyone! #Limitarianism #WealthTax

Call me crazy, but I think Justin Sun, a Chinese national being prosecuted for fraud by the SEC, sending Trump $18 million should be a bigger story The direct enrichment of Trump by a foreign national weeks before he takes office has merited no coverage in the NYT or Washington Post

And where reputable journalists and thinkers go, so do elected officials. I’ve been getting asked lately about a more serious + systemic migration to Bluesky among electeds. Idk the answer but it highlights how much of a breaking point misinfo & throttling has become for Twitter(& other platforms)

going to keep saying: it's important for basic functioning for a society to discourage baldfaced lying

Working conditions are a huge one! There are a lot of jobs people would happily do for UBI+relatively low pay *if* they had stable schedules, safe working conditions, good processes/guidelines, and were supported by management.

BREAKING: The Biden administration is proposing the abolition of the sub-minimum wage for workers with disabilities. Currently employers can pay workers with disabilities less than $7.25/hr, and bosses report paying as little as 5 cents an hour. www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

With alt-text, because yes

The presidential candidate that lost by less than 1% in South Korea in 2022 ran on universal basic income. The conservative guy who barely won recently declared martial law. Coulda, woulda, shoulda had UBI instead. www.ft.com/content/6fef...

"Israelis don’t get the news that everyone else in the world is getting" about atrocities committed in Gaza, says @haggaim.bsky.social. "That is not being shown on Israeli television, in Israeli newspapers." https://www.democracynow.org/2024/12/3/haggai_matar_israel_palestine_gaza_972mag

It’s been a while since I posted Carl, so have a pic of him resting on my bed!

The Breakfast Club was the first one, my mom showed to me before high school 🚬 It came out before the PG13 label was invented and she felt it was one that would have been rated lower if that was an option. The first R rated movie I saw in theatres was Clerks 2, with my mom, stepmom and dad 😬😳
