Universal Basic Income is a rising economic floor for us all.

Poor people would be guaranteed UBI, which could help them live longer, but it’s no guarantee they’ll reach SS retirement age.

The idea of having to earn a living implies that by default you don’t actually deserve to be alive.

Being alive shouldn’t be a debt we’re born into, where survival is contingent on economic output.

Universal Basic Income affirms life’s value beyond economic output. #UBI
