"How many brilliant artistic works have never come into being because artists are forced into flipping burgers just to make ends meet?" "If we could meet our basic needs without having to sell our labor to employers to survive, the arts would flourish." basicincome.org/news/2018/04/2…

It's time we reject the work ethic and replace it instead with a "worthwhile ethic," where how we spend our time is motivated by a sense of genuine utility out of a desire to create, help others, and avoid ethically dubious labor. Unconditional basic income will unleash PURPOSE.

"The rise of psychiatry was funded by America’s Gilded Age industrialists. Their aim: to cast society’s ills as problems of individual "mental health." jacobinmag.com/2018/08/mental…

Unconditional basic income has not existed for far too long. It's time that the primary reason people sell their labor is not simply to avoid starving to death. Every job being done should be getting done by someone who is voluntarily choosing to be there for reasons beyond food.

Artists have the same impact on a community as entrepreneurs. Creative arts account for 4.2% of GDP but have an outsized impact on community vitality and our quality of life. The Freedom Dividend would free up many Americans to pursue artistic aspirations. yang2020.com/policies/suppo…

On this day in 1969, it was reported #MoonLanding. In the same year the President of United States considered introducing #BasicIncome.

"Quite an experience to live in fear, isn’t it? That’s what it is to be a slave." Fear of poverty is not a motivator. It is a tool of wage enslavement. Unconditional basic income makes all labor voluntary. It is economic freedom for all. youtu.be/0zXajYDnprQ #BasicIncome
