It's a scam for the working class, but it's how the owning class has always wielded power.
Land value tax funded universal basic income stops the scam and prevents it from ever happening again.

Medicare for All and Universal Basic Income. That's the winning combo. They improve each other. UBI means healthier people needing less paid care, meaning M4A costs less when combined with UBI. And for UBI, M4A means full decoupling of survival from jobs, improving labor bargaining power even more.

Canada is looking to provide a big non-refundable tax credit to certain kinds of artists, and I don't think that's the right way to help artists. We already have the evidence for the right way, and it's monthly cash as Ireland tested with great success.

Only UBI can solve all of these problems.
Get to work @HouseDemocrats @SenateDems
No more excuses.

Just do universal basic income. Artists need money to make art. What you're saying is make the money before the art, which is not how making art works.
And let's not forget what trained all AI models. Artists' work did.

I'll be sorting out my January, February and March plans soon.
Brisbane and Gold Coast friends, here's your chance to keep me closer to home! 😉
I'd much rather enjoy some local company than be constantly living out of a suitcase.
And just quietly... those who plan ahead always find themselves on my favourites list. 😘
So, who's going to give me a good reason to stay home?

The cost of not doing UBI exceeds the cost of doing UBI.
If you think helping people is expensive, wait until you calculate the cost of abandoning them.
Emergency rooms, shelters, policing, courts, prisons, and the human cost of lives lost.
Poverty is expensive. Homelessness is expensive. Neglect is expensive.
Investing in people isn't just compassion, it's common sense.
And sheesh, we're paying a fortune to keep doing the wrong thing.

$20/hr minimum wage is a joke.
Any wage based solution to poverty and the problem of unemployment & unemployability is laughably inadequate.
We must implement universal basic income.
Some people's privilege and lack of empathy is really awful.
And how is the government ‘spending on subsidising the top 10%’? Top earners are much less of a drag on public resources. They usually pay for private health, don’t require public housing and self fund their own retirement. Your comment is just classic class warfare and poorly thought out nonsense.

What do I think are the pieces of UBI-related news that happened last month that you should definitely know about? Read them in the October edition of the @ITSAfoundation newsletter. Subscribe to stay in the basic income loop!

>capitalists capture all the land
>they have a monopoly on the source of all wealth & productivity
>land speculation drives prices up until commercial crash
If we want capitalism that's sustained, we need land value tax funded universal basic income to resolve class conflict.

Inflation rises to 4.3%.
If increasing interest rates is supposed to control inflation. After SIXTEEN rate rises, inflation is up, down, up again....
PROOF:
INTEREST RATES HAVE NOTHING TO DO WITH, NOR ARE ABLE TO CONTROL, INFLATION.
It's time to ditch this failed theory.
