Germany gave people €1,200/month no strings attached. They kept working, slept better, switched to better jobs, and even gave more to others. Turns out, when people aren’t drowning, they swim further. #UBI doesn’t kill ambition, it frees it.

Universal Basic Income doesn’t make people stop working. It makes people stop panicking. Panicking about rent. Panicking about bills. Panicking about choosing between medicine and food. Imagine what America could build if survival wasn’t our full-time job. #UBI

"The decade’s deepest human-development insight was simple. Money can change more than purchasing power. It can change time, liquidity, bargaining, privacy, mobility, the ability to repair a roof before the rain, and the freedom to make an ordinary purchase without asking permission." #UBI

A new article from BIEN looks back at the decade when UBI moved from theory to real-world pilots. Focusing on the period 2006–2016, the article traces how pilots in Namibia, India, Brazil, Switzerland, and South Korea transformed the policy. zurl.co/qE0cw

We deserve a universal basic income. Why? Because we’re all shareholders in the economy. If corporations can distribute profits to investors, why can’t the economy reward everyone who helps keep it running? It’s time for a federal UBI. #UniversalBasicIncome #UBI #EconomicJustice #FairShare
First panel (older man shouting): “People deserve a universal basic income!”Second panel (younger man arguing): “That’s socialism! You can’t just give away free money!” Third panel (older man angrily responding): “So what do you call corporate dividends?”Fourth panel (younger man yelling): “That’s rewarding shareholders for their investments!” Fifth panel (older man pointing intensely): “WE’RE ALL INVESTORS IN THE ECONOMY!”

For those who look to support or oppose candidates based on their stance on #UBI, the Michigan election today is interesting in how both El-Sayed and Stevens seem open to UBI. El-Sayed actually has it on his Senate platform page while Stevens backed monthly non-means-tested $1,000/mo checks in 2020.
A screencap from abdulforsenate.com/priority/money-in-your-pocket Artificial Intelligence Government decisions around world-changing technology like AI should not be left to unaccountable corporations. Rather than replace us, AI should be a tool to enhance our lives. Further, the speed and lack of transparency with which these technologies are being developed opens the door to serious risks that powerful AI may fall into the wrong hands or escape human control altogether. That’s why I support legislation to create guardrails around when, how, and for what purposes AI is deployed. And I oppose efforts to pre-empt state action without federal legislation in place. To address the risk of massive automation of our jobs, I support exploring income protection programs such as wage insurance and basic income, worker investment through unions, adjusting our tax system to stop penalizing human employment and rewarding automation, and investment in small business revolving loan funds. And to address the security risks, I believe we must develop clear “rules of the road” for AI development that governs which hands this technology falls into and requires us to better test and understand the models being developed. This includes clear safety testing standards for frontier models; liability and incident reporting standards; compute controls, including “know your customer” requirements for compute providers; and the creation of an independent technical agency with real enforcement power, like to the Food & Drug Administration, for AI.
stevens.house.gov/media/press-releases/stevens-opposes-targeted-approach-direct-cash-assistance March 20, 2020 Press Release Yesterday, Congresswoman Haley Stevens (MI-11) sent a letter to Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi arguing that a targeted approach to direct cash assistance as part of forthcoming COVID-19 relief packages could cause families that urgently need this assistance to fall through the cracks. ICYMI: Congresswoman Haley Stevens Backs $1,000 Cash Assistance — Or More — In Response to COVID-19 (WDET, 3/19/2020) “As the House and Senate work to establish an economic relief package to secure the economic foundations of this country and most importantly the financial security of every American, I would like to support ongoing efforts to ensure direct payments are getting into the hands of Americans who need it as soon as possible,” wrote Congresswoman Stevens. “This week, your office has indicated your support for a targeted approach to cash assistance, refundable tax credits, and unemployment insurance to those below a certain income level. In addition to increasing administrative burden and time to disbursements, such an approach may cause families that urgently need this assistance to fall through the cracks.” The full text of the letter can be found attached or below. “As the House and Senate work to establish an economic relief package to secure the economic foundations of this country and most importantly the financial security of every American, I would like to support ongoing efforts to ensure direct payments are getting into the hands of Americans who need it as soon as possible.
