I made the '30 Years of Speeches' vid for Bernie in 2016. But after Yang, I now only support Pro-UBI candidates. I follow back to amplify progressive messaging.
Honestly Iโm worried that Trumpism will win in 2024 if we donโt get a UBI before then.
Only UBI can create the social & economic stability that will prevent negative elements in society from coalescing into political movements.
Bayard spoke of this.
@JoshuaPotash
They know collapse is coming, but theyโre all deluding themselves into thinking they can shield themselves from it.
We all know where the race to the bottom ends.

The original statement needed no fixing. I only added.
You are not special. But you are beautiful.
Both statements are true, and that is wonderful, because it means beauty is everywhere and in all of us.

Henry George wrote this in 1879 and it's always been true.
Implementing universal basic income, universal healthcare, etc. will elevate the nature of work in every way because when individuals have their survival guaranteed and don't have to worry about it, they thrive & grow.

The poverty is what's actually grotesque.
And clearly, if 12 million dollars can just sit in Central Park as an inanimate object, then poverty can be eliminated.
Obviously money is just a tool; not the limited resource we've been told to fight over.

He just had surgery & still needs a 3 week course of antibiotics that cost $2,000 a week, plus insulin.

It was kind of a stretch that Kevin McAllister could be left home alone even in 1990.

"I love you Bernie, & I voted for you in 2016, but a slow crawl to $15/hr by 2024 is too little, too late. We need an immediate raise for all Americans with a UBI of $1000 a month for life."

Yellen was born in 1946 so when she was growing up, jobs actually still allowed the poorest Americans to greatly increase their income & grow their wealth.
Will some intern remind her that it's 2022? That for over 50 years, 'job gains' have been less & less helpful?

This is why even a median level UBI of $3,000 a month wouldn't dissuade people from working.
It would allow people to quit exploitative jobs that they hate and find work that is more fulfilling.

@BernieSanders
You should not have to work to make ends meet in this country.
Period.
We have the resources to provide a UBI to everyone and ensure all Americans can meet their basic physiological & safety needs, regardless of their employment status.
We need that in the 21st century.

Universal basic income shouldโve been our past. Randolph, Rustin, and King knew we had to separate pay from work in 1965 & that the next phase of the Civil Rights movement was the eradication of poverty with a UBI.
It didnโt happen. But it still can.
#YangIsTheFuture
UBI is.
I simply canโt understand people who claim UBI wouldnโt help the poor.
Itโs a constant stream of income to everyone, and that would be nothing short of life changing for millions.

We need UBI.
Money is power, and it's concentrated in the hands of the few.
A robust UBI to every individual, family, & community will give the American people the collective power to create a model democracy.

The solution has been right under our noses for over 50 years, ever since economists told Congress to implement it in 1968.
How much longer will this nation wallow at the bottom of the barrel? We could be so great.

Give everyone UBI so we can end the rat race & stop worrying about income.

Then why arenโt Tesla batteries swappable? Having banks of ready to go, charged batteries allows drivers to just stop and swap - faster than filling up a tank even.
Itโd also allow Tesla to keep track of all individual batteries & monitor their health each time they are swapped

There are no moral, economic, or logical arguments against

Only primitive ideological objections.
There are no arguments, PERIOD, because we KNOW that direct cash transfers are the best way to alleviate poverty, and universal ones are the only way to eliminate it.

It's the obvious solution. In fact, it's 50+ years overdue and people should be absolutely LIVID about GENERATIONS OF AMERICANS being subjected to unnecessary poverty.
