U.S. Basic Income Guarantee Network

U.S. Basic Income Guarantee Network (USBIG) is an informal network promoting discussion of the basic income in the US. RTs don’t reflect political endorsement

[Neil Howard @NeilPHoward]

I've spoken to policymakers about #BasicIncome in the UK, US, India, Bangladesh, Benin, Nigeria & Australia. I’ve also spoken to civil servants working for the UN & parallel bodies all over the world. These convos almost always feature the same biases & misconceptions...🧵1/16

Out now! UNCONDITIONAL FREEDOM: UNIVERSAL BASIC INCOME AND SOCIAL POWER (@PlutoPress): Our lives are not for sale and, in this era of polycrisis, unconditional resources help democratise our lives and deploy emancipatory social imaginaries and practices. Will we dare to do it?

Let's break down another myth about #GuaranteedIncome.

[UBI Works 🇨🇦 @ubi_works]

BREAKING: Bill C-22 to implement a Canada Disability Benefit — a guaranteed basic income for people with disabilities — has passed parliament.

A major achievement in ensuring everyone in Canada can live with dignity!

[Scott Santens @scottsantens]

Interesting new polling out of Germany about unconditional basic income:

53% support, 36% oppose

UBI amount with most support is 1200 euros monthly

Taxes with most support is higher income and wealth taxes

Strong support for true unconditionality

As AI replaces more and more jobs, #BasicIncome will be a necessary integration for society to provide financial stability for earners, caregivers, workers and all people.
Beyond AI's impact on the economy, we know every person has deserved the means to survive.

[Basic Income Earth @BasicIncomeOrg]

Grim #Automation news to start the week, with @IBM announcing a hiring pause as they look to automate certain jobs with #AI
As more #Whitecollar jobs are handed over to #Robots, we may see increased appreciation of what #BasicIncome can do

Job loss due to advancements in AI is real. Basic income is a fundamental next step. Thanks @FundForHumanity for bringing this front and center.
