A sometimes overlooked but hugely important piece of basic income: Putting money into the hands of purchaser allows them to make better choices and practice effective/conscientious consumerism.

We heard from many #BasicIncome recipients that having increased financial security opened up a world of choice that they didn't have before.

For this OBIP participant, #BasicIncomeBoughtMe the income to choose more nutritious foods, and the ability to eat at every meal. 🍽

Important stories from the Ontario Basic Income pilot⬇️

A basic income is a promising strategy to tackle food insecurity in Canada. We also have evidence of this from seniors' pensions, which reduce food insecurity for low-income adults by half when they become eligible at 65.

[Basic Income Youth Collective @BICYN_]

“How would people spend a basic income?” We're glad you asked.

Today, we're launching #BasicIncomeBoughtMe, a social media campaign that mobilizes research on the Ontario Basic Income Pilot to highlight how participants talked about spending their #BasicIncome payments.

@infiringyeah @latimes From the article: "Already, the Los Angeles City Council has unveiled plans to spend more than $11 million in funds diverted from the Los Angeles Police Department budget on such programs in South L.A. and the San Fernando Valley."

[Nolan Wilson @NolanDAWilson]

@ProfSteveFuller @didou @latimes Agreed. The mere fact that it's an experiment with limitations in scope doesn't mean that it can't lead to meaningful data and insight for the broader discussions about Basic Income programs. Many will be watching this pilot closely.

After nearly a year of video call court appearances, I argued a rare in-person Motion today. Very happy with the COVID precautions installed and the assistance of courthouse staff in running things smoothly and safely.

Genuine question: Why haven’t we seen more discussion of a universal basic income as a tool to help manage, like, exactly this sort of situation?

The parties to several lawsuits related to Nevsun Resources Ltd’s involvement in the Bisha Mine in Eritrea have settled the lawsuits. Terms are confidential. The settlement brings a mutually satisfactory conclusion to over 5 years of litigation related to the Bisha Mine.

Robert Solow comparing #UBI to means-tested income: universal support can 1) prevent inefficient public uptake and 2) avoid disincentives against pursuing increases to income.

[Basic Income Canada @basicincomecdn]

When asked about UBI and why he prefers universality over means-testing, this is how Nobel Prize Winner Robert Solow explained his reasoning. #BasicIncome

[Nolan Wilson @NolanDAWilson]

@PatrikOpacic I've always wondered at how this rule prevents US voters from simply choosing whichever person they think is best suited for the job. If an immigrant won the vote, wouldn't that prove that person's connection to Americans and their values?
