There has never been a vehicle I've wanted less than the Cybertruck and this piece goes a long way to explaining why. (We almost got Krissy a Ford F-150 Lightning a couple of years ago and decided against it for reasons)

The opting out is especially wild Like, Republican governors are being actively presented with money to feed kids and affirmatively saying 'I would like children to starve actually' (Also, if I'm a Dem campaigner, I'm making some ads and placing some op eds about this immediately)

As people debate the affordability of Universal Basic Income, they seldom question the cost of not implementing it. The ripple effects of chronic widespread financial insecurity touch every aspect of our society and democracy. Let's crunch the numbers on UBI vs. the status quo.

A Universal Basic Income would help reduce poverty and inequality while improving health and wellbeing.

It could become a cornerstone of a social security system that offers safety and dignity to everyone.

This is predictable but so important: Pasteurizing milk kills the H5N1 bird flu virus that is circulating widely in dairy cattle. It's easy to take a 150-year-old technique that has saved countless lives for granted, but don't fool around with unpasteurized dairy products. πŸ§ͺ

One of the most painful things about our American crisis is how it takes focus away from climate change - the single most important issue of our lifetimes. Of any lifetimes. The first 6 months of 2024 were the hottest ever measured. So far.

Friendly reminder that Ronald Reagan was called senile so often it became a running gag on SNL and the late night shows. He then won 49 of 50 states in the 1984 election.

It's not rocket science, or even politics, it's basic math Basic income is proven to reduce the costs of healthcare and crime When people have their basic needs met they get the breathing room they need to become the best version of themselves We need to take care of everyone

Better yet: See a tent? Introduce yourself to your new neighbors. Ask them how they're doing, and if they need anything. Drop off some cookies or another welcome treat. Check up on them once in a while. Make their lives suck a little less.

Anyone who thinks wages are more dignified than a universal basic income has probably had a charmed working life. There is nothing dignified about shitty wages, lack of breaks, overwork, harassment & bullying, burn-out, or the moral injury of working without sufficient resources to do a decent job.

The absolutely wild thing is: This goes for ALL social aid. Just *giving people some fucking money,* literally going "OK, how much did you need?", cutting checks, and waving them out the door? COSTS LESS and HAS BETTER OUTCOMES than the current system's bureaucracy and means testing, EVERY TIME.
