Direct cash transfers are the most efficient and effective way to extend aid to those impacted by climate disasters all over the world. Let's support GiveDirectly💸 as they provide the much-needed financial resources to the LA fire victims.

The UK is going to invest a huge amount of resources on AI hardware and also create a National Data Library using public sector data to feed AI. This is justification for UBI as an AI dividend. The People are the shareholders investing capital. PAY THEM. theguardian.com/politics/2025/…

Pope Francis reminded the world that economic dignity is not just charity—it’s justice. He called for Universal Basic Income to protect people in the age of AI and automation. Today, we honour a leader who asked us to never remain on the sidelines of justice.

Fiscal conservatives support basic income over bloated welfare bureacracies that trap people in poverty.

Universal Basic Income doesn’t make people lazy. It helps make people free. Free to leave abusive jobs. Free to care for family. Free to recover, create & contribute on your terms. Imagine getting $1,000/month no strings attached. What would you do with that freedom? #UBI

Afraid immigration will drive up rents or drain our safety net? With a Citizens Only #UBI paid by VAT + Land Value Tax: •Newcomers’ spending grows every American’s UBI •Land taxes reward building homes, not hoarding land More People = More Income & Housing, not higher costs.
