UBI reduces government control.
Unlike means-tested welfare programs, you don't have to jump through hoops to prove eligibility or face restrictions on spending.
It's a breath of fresh air in a world of red tape.
That's the simplicity and freedom UBI offers.

If the profitability boom brought about by #AI is as radical as it seems, we may see an #economy-distorting wealth concentration in hands of very few
#BasicIncome is a tested, effective and simple method to help rebalance the economy if things get warped

#CEOsforBasicIncome
I wrote this speech for last week's #BasicIncome North Conference in England. We have so much potential as a species, but it's up to us to unleash it through the advance of UBI. So long as we lack UBI, things are going to get uglier. We need a foundation.

One of the reasons #BasicIncome must be universal is that this isn't just about poverty. This is about middle class restitution. For decades, money that should have flowed to workers, instead flowed upwards to owners. There's no way to correct that but with universal basic income
Canadians of all stripes are now seriously discussing #BasicIncome as a tool to solve poverty and provide an effective defense for the economy as a whole.

A powerful article by Basic Income advocate Wil Robertson that refutes falsehoods from critics based on facts and evidence.
Basic income works. It's good for our health, for our economy, and for Canadians.
