"Anti-work activists [...] advocate the virtues of a universal basic income, which does away with the need to work at all."

Are you as tired as we are of hearing this "people won't work if you give them an income floor" argument? See our thread below 🧵https://t.co/9Bzds4OPrN

Thank you @RWartzman for continuing to shine a light on the inadequacy of minimum wage - and using @steadyapp data to help make the case! 👏

[Rick Wartzman @RWartzman]

What's it like to live on $33,000 a year? “This is not a family-sustaining wage by any means,” says @lexigervis, @SteadyIQ's vice president of impact. “This is a paycheck-to-paycheck existence.” My latest in @FastCompany: https://t.co/mGN2emGuMU

Government spends over $2 trillion on goods and services each year. But are these investments creating good jobs? I enjoyed tuning into this webinar from @AspenJobQuality discussing how public procurement can advance job quality. https://t.co/bTCZwKzo80

[Rick Wartzman @RWartzman]

Really enjoyed my conversation with @HaroldMeyerson of @TheProspect and @lexigervis of @SteadyIQ about my new book, "Still Broke: Walmart's Remarkable Transformation and the Limits of Socially Conscious Capitalism." Check it out here: https://t.co/g7II64s4o5

Poverty isn’t an inevitability — it’s a policy choice. The #ChildTaxCredit expansion was one of the most effective antipoverty policies in a generation, and we’re calling on Congress to prioritize our children and vote #CTCNow @income_movement

[Rick Wartzman @RWartzman]
