Apparently this is super controversial. It is pretty clear the future of the internet will be built on the blockchain. But that does not necessarily mean crypto or NFTs. Hopefully it will just become another invisible layer of protection and accountability. 🤞
UBI is leagues better then our current cash infusion policy.
From @scottsantens’ new article - “The most important reason for basic income to be fully universal is to acknowledge that any means-testing will always exclude some percentage of those who need it most”
37 behavioral scientists designed a
23 condition megastudy testing different sets of
1-2 text messages to boost vaccinations among
689,693 @Walmart pharmacy customers
430 forecasters tried to predict what worked
NOW our results are out in @PNASNews... 🧵

In Gerrymandered districts or very conservative states Dems stand little if any chance of winning. Their best course of action would be to back a reasonable conservative independent. Someone that does not believe the big lie.
#BudgetWithMint | About three-fourths of the respondents of the Mint-CVoter pre-Budget Poll support the idea of universal basic income. #MintCharts#Budget2022
From @Fwd_Party “On Monday, February 07, at 7:00 PM RankMyVote Florida will be hosting their Statewide Meeting featuring Andrew Yang. If you’re in Florida and eager to help spread RCV in your area, sign up https://t.co/iMvMB4LOZw for the Zoom link”
It's crazy how we're just going to watch as 4 million kids fall back into poverty despite all the success we were already seeing from the enhanced CTC which included a big jump in entrepreneurship, 94% of parents not working less, and 25% working more.

@RichardHasse@AndrewYang My first thought was 3D printers. There is an absolute renaissance of at home fabrication right now and it is 100% due to that patent expiring.
@AndrewYang My whole family came down with Covid this week. So it has been painfully long for us. Thankfully I had it the worst with a day and a half of fever. Everyone else was completely recovered after less than a day.
@marwilliamson makes a brilliant observation on the nomination process for @Fwd_Party nominees: have a real debate between intellectually diverse potential candidates. They will be ignored by MSM so Have them moderated by alternative media personalities in long form.
Now on https://t.co/PjWTwI77T1 the awesome @marwilliamson and I talk the Democratic field in 2024, who can beat Trump, the DNC, what the parties have in common and much more.
@YangDailyCast@HumanityForward This is the first step towards turning the program into just another way to punish the poor. If Manchin wants grandparents who are primary caregivers to get it we need to REMOVE work requirements not add them.
55 years after Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. called for guaranteed basic income to abolish poverty, over 60 US cities are finally taking his lead with pilot demonstrations to show the efficacy of monthly cash independent of work.
SPOILER: It works.

We are purpose-seeking machines. To think unconditional basic income would lead to people doing nothing but surviving is just ridiculous. No one wants to just survive. In fact a great deal of depression comes from feeling like all we're doing is surviving.
UBI enables thriving.
