@scottsantens @income_movement @basicincomeEU @basicincomecdn @basicincome_uk @UBILabNetwork @mayorsforagi @deanbphillips @CornelWest @UBIToday @BasicIncomeOrg We have seen enough pilots. People are desperate now. Instead of universal set small amounts, give all struggling below the poverty line a liveable basic income for at least 2 years. Amounts will vary by cost of living where they live. Rent control will be necessary.
