Automation will cause massive unemployment in the years ahead.
A universal #BasicIncome and universal #Healthcare will be essential in building a bright future in the age of automation we are rapidly approaching.

The rich are getting so much richer so fast that their spending can't keep up. The wealth of the top 10% grew by 40%, but their spending is only up 5%. Our consumer economy requires spenders, not hoarders. Extreme inequality is unsustainable. https://t.co/czHGVcUdVj #BasicIncome
Every human being on Earth needs to first meet their most basic needs before being able to focus on other things. If we simply made sure everyone had their basic needs met as a starting point, just imagine how much more we would accomplish as a species.

Circumstances of birth greatly determine income as adults in the US. If we truly wish to be a land of opportunity, universal #basicincome is required to provide more equal opportunity to all, regardless of circumstances of birth. https://t.co/BH83vSi3eG
Unforgivable. Stop categorizing people as "fit to work" or "unfit to work", then watching as those told they must work to live, either die or kill themselves. If everyone had #basicincome, this man (and countless others) would likely still be alive. https://t.co/3VYwlUGDO1
