Am I alone in being disgusted by excessive wealth? It seems like a moral failing rather than something to celebrate or aspire to.

Among those who've watched this, I've been told again and again that it changed the way they think about UBI from a good idea to one of extreme importance, but it still only has 8.7k views. Please help get it out there for more people to watch. #YangGang youtu.be/fTZ2A_GknZM

With a guaranteed livable income #GLI #livable4all #basicincome #freedomdividend people could choose to say ‘no’ to work they consider harmful to the earth, to other people, or to themselves. When faced with the old “job versus environment” they could choose #environment

What is jobism? When we view any job as a good job even if it destroys our #environment #biosphere Why we need a #GLI #livable4all #UBI #basicincome

Most harmful activities that hurt the environment (and human health) are happening because of jobs and economic growth incentives. #degrowth #UBI #GLI #livable4all #freedomdividend end #jobism #endpoverty save the planet.

Alyssa Battistoni @zeithistoriker I really liked your 2014 article on UBI and environment. jacobinmag.com/2014/01/alive-… is this still part of the green new deal? Environment is a key reason for a UBI that not many people emphasize enough

A job guarantee is the ultimate capitulation to the owner class. Instead of fighting for a right to the same income without work that owners receive for owning, it doubles down on wage slavery. It is not freedom to be guaranteed work to obtain food that's being withheld from you.

Really hope people connect the economic dots: why the #vegan #emptythetanks #animalrights movement needs to connect with #GLI #UBI #basicincome movement. How else can humanity end reliance on jobs in bad industries? meganmediadesign.com/single-post/20… Thx Vegan Boss @MeganMediaDesig
