I have untreated, generational trauma. I have a felony on my record. I have unpaid student loans from some of the most tumultuous years of my and my family's life. I have boundless untapped potential that I don't have the capital to tap into. #UBI would give me the floor to fix myself up.

Yeah people forget, Biden only won because of how badly Trump handled COVID. Just open them up and pour bleach. We needed reformist change, unfortunately when people are feeling it they run towards radical change. I fear what may come.

Had that feeling I wasn't the only one, there were a lot of progressives "popular" voters during the primaries that have not forgotten what the DNC did.

In my life, there’s a distressing revelation involving those who have spread false accusations about me. As I’ve pondered it, it’s disheartening to realize that not only do people readily believe these falsehoods, but their willingness to accept them suggests they wanted to believe them all along.

Universal basic income could allow people like me who are just born mentally ill through no fault of our own, to be able to house and feed ourselves without literally making our mental health worse with financial anxiety or trying to shove ourselves back into the employment machine we don't fit into

#UBI would help me keep up with the frustrating costs of city living and take stress away from worrying about my paycheck. It might even give me a fighting chance st apartment hunting.
UBI is mobility. It's choice. It is independence.

Denver Basic Income project $589,214 was saved in public service costs. I’m tired of “how do we afford UBI” We need more education about universal basic income’s net “final” cost after we subtract saving public service costs.

Universal basic income enhances labor flexibility, empowering individuals to negotiate for better wages and pursue education, thereby increasing labor mobility. As a result, homeownership rates rise, and the rental market experiences increased supply, leading to price competition. Eg Rents drop #UBI

Universal basic income works. Period. It helps cover the basic costs of living, and reduces labor pressure, which yields significant net improvement to society.

Alaska has had a small annual universal basic income since 1982. You might think it has only increased prices but every year when the checks go out, businesses compete for customers by lowering their prices. It has decreased poverty there. It's also increased overall employment.

Thank you for sharing! ♥️🙌🏻 It was interesting to read that when the ANC stopped the COVID relief payments it resulted in riots. This is how I felt if we ever implemented UBI, people will never want to go back. ✊🏻 it’s our right to demand a basic income!

“the ANC has gone one step further. A week before the election,…, deepening its commitment to finalising a policy to transform the state’s Covid grant into a universal basic income (UBI)…” Additionally, when the ANC stopped the Covid relief funds it lead to riots! Once a UBI there’s no going back

Unconditional Basic Income (UBI) offers a paradigm shift: replace force with choice in work, leading to greater commitment and productivity. Psychology experiments show that when given a 𝙘𝙝𝙤𝙞𝙘𝙚 to work, individuals are more engaged and productive. A shift from force to choice is a motivator.
