Move beyond the labels of communism or socialism. UBI is about ensuring everyone has the basic necessities for a dignified life—freedom from homelessness and hunger. It's an investment in people to empower and strengthen communities. Give humanity a chance!

Some may not want to hear this, but poverty isn't solved with debt; it's perpetuated by it. Forcing loans on the poor benefits the lenders, not the people. True solutions come from investing directly in individuals and communities.

Historically, communities provided safety nets, offering both social and resource assistance. Today's society often prioritises individualism, leading to a decline in overall well-being. UBI is a bridge, providing financial support and a means to rebuild communities.
UBI strengthens the general economy by placing money directly into individuals. This boosts consumer spending, grows businesses, and creates vibrant communities.
Don't let doubt disturb progress. UBI pilots consistently demonstrate positive results, ensuring everyone has the chance to reach their full potential. Debating whether it works is a distraction. It's time to focus on implementation and make poverty a thing of the past.

Let's stop wasting resources on bureaucracy! We all know a significant portion of funds in traditional nonprofits disappear in administrative costs. This limits the fight against poverty. Direct cash transfers through UBI programs have proven to be more effective and sustainable.

Without a steady income, life becomes an endless battle for daily survival. Imagine the stress of choosing between paying rent and buying food! UBI brings hope—a lifeline. It enables people to work through today, knowing tomorrow they have a safety net keeping them from starving.
A draft law in Rwanda wants 80% of NGOs’ budget to 'directly' reach vulnerable people. I suggest they adopt direct cash transfers, like those successfully implemented by @GiveDirectly its an efficient and sustainable way to address poverty and inequality. bit.ly/49Nn8sk
Vast sums lie stagnant, with individuals lacking the vision or drive for productive investment. UBI redirects this capital to those ripe with potential, driving growth through essential spending and entrepreneurship rather than vanity projects without Direct benefit to society.

Blackthorne: The current system is broken, unfair, and suffocates opportunity. Problems are vast, inequality is so entrenched. We can't fix this with the same tools that broke it. It's madness! Mariko: The Anjin protest. Living costs are too high; we need Universal Basic Income.
Money is meant to facilitate trade, yet our current system allows it to become concentrated in the hands of a few over time. This glitch undermines the very purpose of currency. UBI acts as a failsafe, redistributing it and ensuring everyone gets to participate in the economy.

In many workplaces, the power dynamic heavily favours employers, who often leverage the threat of dismissal to maintain control and maximize productivity. This creates a climate of fear and insecurity for workers. With UBI, workers have power to leave exploitative situations.
UBI pilots consistently show positive results in poverty reduction, improved health outcomes, and increased economic activity. Those seeking to stop the pilots demonstrate either a lack of understanding of the matter or a lack of concern for the well-being of their citizens.

Capitalism thrives on economic participation. When means of participation (money) are concentrated in the hands of a few, the majority are locked out of the system, holding back innovation, competition, and growth. UBI provides resources to build, create, and even take risks.
UBI empowers local economies by investing Directly in the community. By increasing the disposable income of residents, it creates a ripple effect of spending that strengthens local businesses, promotes job creation, and ultimately leads to a higher standard of living.

As individuals, we bear personal responsibility for our lives and livelihoods, but we also have a collective duty towards each other. Communities thrive when we recognise our interconnectedness. UBI strengthens communities by Directly promoting individuals well-being.

The Cult of Employment brainwashes people into thinking they have no purpose if they have no ‘job.’ It’s so sad to see insecure people swindled.
@NewProgressUSA He ran out of purpose before he ran out of money….if he maintained his purpose he would have the money he needs. Getting welfare from the bureaucrats who robbed him of his purpose would not help this man.
Hired by AI. Fired by AI. We need UBI. bloomberg.com/news/features/…
@MatuClouds We need to move beyond the anachronisms keeping us ideologically divided and religiously adhering to obsolete and inhumane economic dogma that engenders obscene greed and inequality…try to create a fairer, more egalitarian society, where all boats are lifted—not just the yachts.

@malcolm_reavell @MatuClouds ...been disheartening over the last couple of days to read comments from people whose opinions on MMT I find valuable, saying that UBI is a 'con', without properly explaining why you think so.

@MatuClouds Even well-meaning microloans haven't worked out. But lots of evidence (Kenya!) that cash transfers are effective and efficient. vox.com/future-perfect…
I have talked with hundreds of people trapped in predatory loans and you are right!
Some may not want to hear this, but poverty isn't solved with debt; it's perpetuated by it. Forcing loans on the poor benefits the lenders, not the people. True solutions come from investing directly in individuals and communities.
@MatuClouds More info on that, go to the Mexico section en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Company_s…
@MatuClouds This was one of the reasons the mexican revolution took place at the beginning of the 20th century. A combination of Tiendas de raya (lending stores) with rates impossible to pay and poor working conditions for peasants
Former Conservative Senator Hugh Segal went on CBC News to remind us: "Most people in poverty have jobs. Many have multiple." #BasicIncome is a raise for working Canadians. What are you waiting for, Ottawa? 🇨🇦 #cndpoli
How many books go unwritten, songs unsung, and innovations undiscovered because financial worry consumes the brightest minds? Universal Basic Income is the key to unlocking a renaissance of creativity and discovery. Let's champion a future where survival doesn't stifle brilliance
Remember that Social Security passed in 1935 in part because Dr. Townsend mobilized some 2 million Americans thru the launch of Townsend Clubs, to pressure Congress by WRITING LETTERS. No long-distance calling, no marches, no social media. If they did it in 1933, how about 2024?
This is a really brilliant new ad
Universal Basic Income mirrors our diverse cultures, empowering voices and choices. It’s a canvas for expression and a symphony of rights, fueling aspirations and ethical actions. #UBI is the thread that weaves our societal tapestry, reflecting every hue of humanity. 🌍

#UBI makes life more affordable.
Crazy. I wonder if it has something to do with rent being unaffordable, food being unaffordable, insurance being unaffordable, daycare being unaffordable, college being unaffordable, home owning being unaffordable, medical care being unaffordable, and a pandemic.
$500 monthly boost led to significant employment growth, enhanced savings, improved debt management, and better quality of life for diverse Seattle residents facing poverty. The Guaranteed Basic Income pilot showed promising outcomes over its 10-month course. #UBI
