In the face of mounting income insecurity, precarious work, wage theft, and underemployment, Basic Income beats minimum wage. It gives the power to say YES or NO to work of your choice without risking poverty.

The changing nature of work requires new ideas. #BasicIncome

All of the top firms have predicted huge unemployment from automation, artificial intelligence and robots. The headlines roll in right before our eyes, but our leaders ignore them. We have to build a new economy for ourselves. Let's pass #BasicIncome

A world without #BasicIncome looks like these realities.

Some say life is a game ... well, here are the rules.

Thus began the false idea that everybody has to be employed at some kind of drudgery to justify his right to exist. #BasicIncome

The job market is like a game of musical chairs. Automation is removing chairs. #BasicIncome makes sure no one is left behind if no more chairs are available.

A job guarantee is a terrible idea, and hugely inferior to UBI. We didn't invent robots and software so that we could come up with new ways to force each other to work in order to exist. Jobs are the problem, not the solution. UBI is freedom and justice.

With the way the nature of work is changing, along with increasing inequality, our current social safety net is outdated. That's why we need a universal basic income.

1 You can have no dignity if you are unemployed 2 All paid work is dignified Don't know which is sillier.

Without #BasicIncome, you can't say NO to employers. The inability to refuse leads to the most severe exploitation.

"The labor displacement will be faster and more vicious this time than even the Industrial Revolution was by a factor of four." We need #BasicIncome
