Imagine if your organs only got blood when they were in use. That is our nation without #UBI (Universal Basic Income). SPOILERS: your body will die. So too will nations. No nation has ever lasted long in the grand scheme of thing... but one could! -G

I think the takeaway here is that a single $1200 direct payment had a tremendous, tangible impact on the average person’s life. We would be in a much better place if Democrats had the courage to seriously push something like universal basic income.

I took part in a formal debate yesterday about how to respond to automation, with universal basic income or $50,000 jobs for anyone who wants one. The recording of it is now available on my YouTube channel. Spoiler: The judges determined Team UBI won. youtube.com/watch?v=MxtrqZ…

Sad news today. Marshall Brain has died. His book Manna was the catalyst for beginning my UBI advocacy back in 2013. We met in 2015 at my first basic income conference. My condolences to his family and friends. My gratitude for what he added to humanity. newsvital.com.ng/ncsu-death-mar…

Doug Ford: $200 for everyone! Justin Trudeau: $250 but only for those who reported earnings of less than $150k because I insist on means-testing to make people feel excluded and angry. Also a temporary holiday sales tax break for certain items. Me: 🤦‍♂️ apnews.com/article/trudea…

Basic income supporters get called neoliberals by some progressives and communists by some capitalists. It's not about the means of production. It's about the means of consumption. Capitalism works for those who can signal demand, but all markets can and do fail, so we need govt.
