Hello! Welcome to the @UBILibrary submissions account. This is where you can get helpful tweets and other #UBI#BasicIncome resources added to the library. Thank you for your interest in this project. I will explain the process in subsequent tweets in this thread.
#BasicIncome promotes conscientiousness & agreeableness, correlated w/ success & happiness.
Ppl lacking conscientiousness "tend to lie, break rules and have trouble paying attention"
Agreeableness "leads to a comfort around people and aptness for teamwork"

Thwarting a climate apocalypse is likely to require a mass mobilization of resources. That means, among other things, WORK.
You and you alone should determine what your contribution is, but work needs to be done, and this is part of why automation is a terrible argument for UBI.
Isn't a job guarantee such a royally great idea?
Doesn't it make SO MUCH SENSE that a bunch of supposed socialists are pushing for the commodification of intrinsically-motivated caring labor? What better way to beat the hated gatekeeper "capitalists" than to become them, right?
@ewarren I just feel the need to point out that, since its biggest cheerleader - looking at you, Senator Warren - is promoting a wealth tax for mostly wrong reasons (thereby undermining the cause), that prompts other people to oppose it (much of the #YangGang) for mostly wrong reasons.

I wish that anti-UBI Job Guarantee advocates would understand that having consenting power is why UBI advocates advocate for UBI, instead of cynically assuming that always or usually using such power for the purpose of withholding production is the point of UBI.

The Taxpayer Money mythology encourages all of us to think that someone else getting something means me losing something.
This perception is the main cause of death for most failed progressive and-or emancipatory policy initiatives. We MUST kill this perception.
1.) People are screaming for jobs and money while businesses and job-seekers are screaming at you to buy their products and services, all while store shelves are always stocked, and the main reasons that businesses fail isn't a lack of supply but a lack of customers.
