Do you agree? 🤔

[Matu Mureithi @MatuClouds]

Most countries have enough resources to fund UBI as well as GBI programs.

An example is Canada, which can build a $1 trillion sovereign wealth fund from mineral wealth alone.

Another is Kenya, which has one of the world's largest deposits of niobium, a rare and valuable metal used in many industries worth over $35 billion.

The problem is not the lack of resources but the will to provide equality to all citizens.

See how Canada can do it👇

Every religion advocates this. And the ever-growing impact of technology on the world of work makes it possible if only we eliminate the profit motive in the supply of these essential needs. The transitional solution if Universal Basic Income.

Thousands of Amazon workers across 20 countries are going to protest or strike this Black Friday.

Workers from the US to India to Brazil to Japan and beyond plan to take action to demand workers’ rights and climate action from the corporate giant.

Read more at our Substack about how right-wing groups are encouraging states like Arkansas to get rid of protections for young workers.

"Some of the arguments against protections [in the early 20th century] are some of the same arguments we're hearing around the country now."

Arkansas was one of the first states to pass a ban on child labor more than a century ago. Now Arkansas is part of a wave of states undoing child labor protections.

As a new @AACF report found, that rollback is happening as child labor violations skyrocket.

[More Perfect Union @MorePerfectUS]

Atlanta Amazon workers are now organizing a union with the @Teamsters. This follows a wave of worker organizing at the corporate giant in New York, California, Illinois and beyond. Each step take to unionize at Amazon is a massive victory for the working class.

The fight for dignity and respect for America's working class, postal service edition

[Jordan Zakarin @jordanzakarin]

This is the biggest labor fight that nobody is talking about — it involves more than 250,000 workers and impacts every block of every city and suburb in America.

[More Perfect Union @MorePerfectUS]

NEW: USPS letter carriers tell us they’re sleeping in their vehicles and bathing at union halls because they get paid poverty wages.

They were promised a historic new contract this year. Instead, they were offered 1.3% raises.

Now they’re revolting.

@EdKrassen 10B humanoid robots by 2040, cheaper than wages.

[Scott Santens @scottsantens]

@EdKrassen Indeed there is.

[Scott Santens @scottsantens]

@EdKrassen Yes we need UBI, but we also should have started it decades ago when productivity first decoupled from wages. It's the downward pressure on wages that's the biggest concern, not permanent unemployment. And we SHOULD all be benefitting from automation.

Without a Universal Basic Income, the United States could face a major crisis.

AI and robotics are advancing so quickly that many American jobs are already being replaced, and this trend is only going to grow. People don’t realize how close we are to a future where most jobs could disappear.

Think about the possibility of AI reaching Artificial General Intelligence (AGI) in the next five years and Artificial Super Intelligence (ASI) shortly after that. Now imagine humanoid robots that are stronger, faster, more precise, and more flexible than humans. If these robots are powered by that superintelligent AI, they would essentially have a “brain” that makes them capable of outperforming humans in almost every way.

These super-intelligent, super-capable robots would be able to do almost any job better than a human could, and they would cost less than paying human workers. One single robot in a household could be your family's mechanic, handyman, plumber, baby sitter, chef, Heating/AC repairman (Although AC's themself would likely be self-reparing). The only jobs that might survive are the ones that require a human connection or emotional understanding.

Without something like Universal Basic Income to help people survive this transition, millions of Americans could end up unemployed and without support, all while the GDP of America increases exponentially. This is a serious issue, and we need to start preparing for it now before it’s too late.

Former Conservative Senator Hugh Segal went on CBC News to remind us: "Most people in poverty have jobs. Many have multiple."

#BasicIncome is a raise for working Canadians. What are you waiting for, Ottawa? 🇨🇦 #cndpoli

[UBI Works 🇨🇦 @ubi_works]

Yang was right

[Common Wealth 🍁 @CommonWealth_ca]

Our common wealth is being plundered at scale without compensation. This includes the value of land and natural resources.

It's time we reclaimed it to pay us common dividends.

[UBI Works 🇨🇦 @ubi_works]

True for Canada too

[Scott Santens @scottsantens]

Universal Basic Income makes capitalism work for everybody.

[Andrew Yang🧢⬆️🇺🇸 @AndrewYang]

Eventually we wind up at Universal Basic Income.
