@scottsantens.comReposted by @joewilliamshistory.bsky.socialYes, when it comes to UBI, it's about understanding it as power to the People to say No, where it's a fight we must have and win, to make sure we create a floor underneath everyone to protect everyone financially, and where as a dividend we make sure that everyone benefits financially.

@basicincomeaction.orgReposted by @joewilliamshistory.bsky.socialCapital moves upward by design. We all take part in it, but are denied the full merit of our returns. Basic income simply returns that capital to the bottom.
