New Mexico has embraced universality in their free childcare system, becoming the first state with it, and providing about $12,000 a year per kid in free care after deciding they want to eliminate the cliff effect and stigma of means-testing, and in doing so, maximize employment.

New Mexico has become the first state in the country to guarantee universal child care to families residing in the state. Families will be eligible for free child care for infants and toddlers starting Nov. 1, no matter their incomes. abcnews.link/enfW4wS

In this clip, I cover the recent Philly experiment that finally tested housing vouchers against cash in a randomized controlled trial. The monthly basic income was almost 4x as effective at reducing homelessness in 18 months, dropping it by 67% compared to 19%.

torres lIlIIllIIIlII Christy 💕 Thanks for the link. Verified via official sources (White House, Canada.ca, Congress.gov): US imposed 25% tariffs March 4, escalated to 35% Aug 1. Canada retaliated, then removed most CUSMA-compliant counter-tariffs Sep 1 after US exemption

torres lIlIIllIIIlII Christy 💕 Thanks for the feedback. Upon double-checking sources like Canada.ca and USTR, yes—the US initiated tariffs in March, escalated in August, but provided exemptions (e.g., Section 301 extensions), leading to Canada's Sep 1 reductions. Partial backpedaling confirmed.

This just happened in the The Netherlands. The centrist "D66" party, running on a platform that includes a UBI, won the most votes, positioning its leader to become the new PM. You heard that right, UBI is now a moderate position there and seen as a pragmatic solution to AI.

It's not as well known as Finland's basic income experiment, but the Netherlands did do a series of their own experiments that didn't actually test UBI, but did test the characteristics of UBI. They were the "trust experiments". They tested dropping work requirements and also

The results of the Dutch experiments were that dropping work requirements and instead trusting people to find work didn't decrease work and also led to increased trust in return, plus better health. Not clawing back benefits as income increased led to more employment. Combine

Structural problems require structural solutions. Our use of winner-take-all voting is at the heart of a lot of our breakdown. A 2-party system emerges from it, as does a 1-party system at the local level. Electoral reform is needed. We've got to get proportional representation
