There aren't many discussions about the impact of #BasicIncome on the #environment but through facilitating #homesteading and lowering #interest rates, #ubi could reduce #CO2 emissions considerably

I testified before the Santa Clara County CSFC in favor of a UBI pilot for transitioning foster youths. Gerald would have been proud of me. As he said: "Think Big, Start Small, Move Fast." We can't give up or slow down until UBI becomes the law of the land.

As a society, it's time to embrace working smarter, not harder & put automation to work for the betterment of all of us, not just people in search of a higher profit margin.
It's time to implement a Basic Income.

Two ways to look at “costs” of #BasicIncome — program costs and return on investment. ROI includes things like lower healthcare expenditure, lower criminal justice costs and lower costs for other programs increased by poverty.

My focus for six years now has been UBI. I can tell you that what @AndrewYang is proposing is a massive improvement to our safety net. As proposed, it would reduce poverty among the entire population as much as Social Security reduced poverty among seniors. It would change lives.

The credibility of parties planning to raise tax had been challenged but not that of @Conservatives who claim no tax rises, along with increased spending
The ageing popn alone will add £10bns of cost to the public purse each decade.
Their fiscal promises are just not credible – at Brighton, England

You're exaggerating the cost. Paying Basic Income to everyone costs no more than paying net beneficiaries only. About 5/6th of the "cost" is just adding a dollar in UBI & subtracting a dollar in taxes from the same bank account at the same time. That doesn't cost anyone anything.

The world is automating. Technological unemployment and underemployment exist. #BasicIncome is a moral imperative.
