Grateful for this community pushing for a better future for Canada

If no one benefited from the value of land, only benefit from what you do with the land, you would never have stories like this where landlords kill productive companies, and you would also not have working poverty anymore. The land value tax shift & rebate will do that.

Anti- #georgism in action. This is a perfect example of using the power of rent for evil.

#LandValueTax might not solve this but it would put a stop to future examples of it.

Legendary entrepreneur and investor Vinod Khosla sees the potential for AI and UBI to unleash human potential.

I have a series of blogs coming out next week about universal basic income, land value tax & homelessness, but for now please whet your appetite with this intro to UBI (feat Common Wealth 🍁)

Sam Altman, Geoff Hinton, Demis Hassabis, Mustafa Suleyman, Vinod Khosla ... and countless more people working on AI have come out calling for basic income.

Plus 175 Canadian CEOs and business leaders who signed a letter for it.

I spoke with Reddit ex-CTO about AI and basic income.

If automation moves fast enough to disrupt work, society will need a new social contract that includes bolder forms of basic income and shorter workweeks.

A Universal Land Dividend (UBI funded by land rents) could leave 80% of Canadian households and 70% of UK households with more income, while addressing the housing crisis.

If you support UBI or LVT, here's why they're even better together:

Paying everyone dividends from wealth we all have a moral claim to - whether that's natural resources, social wealth funds, or AIs trained on our data - is how we achieve Keynes' vision of 20-hour workweeks.

It's how we achieve a Star Trek economy.

Any housing policymaker who doesn't talk about capturing and sharing land rents is avoiding a central problem, and therefore can't possibly be presenting a full solution.

Brilliant. Why can this articulate young person understand the relevance of land in the economy when most economists and politicians don't see beyond taxing earned incomes. #LandValueTax Labour Land Campaign

A perfect example why AIs trained by humanity should pay dividends to humanity.

OpenAI's new voice sounds ridiculously like Scarlett Johansson, but they say it was someone else.

A perfect example of why AIs trained on humanity should pay dividends to humanity.
