Prosperity Loop

AI Is the New Oil — So Where Are the Dividends? Every fall, Alaskans receive a check in the mail. It isn’t a tax rebate or a welfare benefit. It’s their annual share of the state’s oil…

If oil paid Alaskans a dividend, why shouldn’t AI pay all of us?

The AI boom runs on our energy, water & data. It’s time for shared prosperity.

The debate about UBI is really a debate about what kind of society we want to be. Will we cling to old myths, or design systems where prosperity flows and everyone’s included?

Join us—let’s create a future where growth and fairness come full circle.

#UBI

How would our communities change if everyone’s basic needs were guaranteed? More creativity. More care. More courage to try something new.

Tell us: What would YOU do with a Freedom Dividend?

#WhatWouldYouDo #FreedomDividend #ImagineBetter

We don’t need more hoops to jump through; we need a real foundation. The Freedom Dividend means no one falls through the cracks, no matter what life throws their way.

Let’s build systems that reflect our highest values: fairness, dignity, and inclusion.

#Wellbeing #FreedomDividend #Inclusion

What if our economy rewarded innovation and cared for the most vulnerable?

The Prosperity Loop is about circulating wealth, not trapping it at the top.

See how the Freedom Dividend connects growth and fairness.

The real world doesn’t fit the old myth that poverty = laziness.

Pilot programs from Alaska to Finland show unconditional income doesn’t kill motivation; in fact, it frees people to work smarter, not harder.

Join the conversation.

#MythBusting #UBI

In the Prosperity Loop, we honor ALL forms of contribution, raising kids, volunteering, starting a business, caring for elders, not just paid jobs.

Let’s build a system where hard work leads to dignity, not desperation.

Ever heard of the “welfare cliff”?

When trying to get ahead means losing your safety net, nobody wins. A Freedom Dividend offers an unconditional floor, no red tape, no punishment for progress.

What would you do if your basic needs were guaranteed? Studies show most people don’t quit work; instead, they retrain, launch businesses, or care for loved ones.

What the Media Isn’t Telling You: Why Universal Basic Income Is the Answer to Poverty, Insecurity, and Inequality Why Universal Basic Income can solve poverty, insecurity, and inequality—and why opponents fear its power to shift our economy.

Excessive inequality shortens life expectancy, increases infant mortality, corrodes social cohesion, amplifies violent crime, mental illness, domestic violence and child abuse, political instability and conflict risk. UBI directly reduces inequality [so] ... these other problems can be relieved.

For millions working multiple jobs and still struggling to get by, the “work requirement” isn’t about motivation, it’s about systemic barriers.

This is bigger than survival, it’s about building a society where everyone can participate, contribute, and grow.

A National Wealth Fund invests in all of us, funding the Freedom Dividend (UBI) for every American.

#NationalWealthFund #FreedomDividend

How do we fund this? The Prosperity Loop model charges commons fees on pollution, data, and resource extraction, so everyone benefits.

#SustainableFuture #WealthFund

As automation and AI reshape work, UBI acts as a safety net and a launch pad for new opportunities.

#FutureOfWork #EconomicResilience

UBI gives people choices, no more one-size-fits-all aid. It empowers families, entrepreneurs, and communities to thrive.

#Empowerment #ProsperityLoop

Universal Basic Income (UBI) isn’t a handout, it’s a foundation for everyone to build on, especially in a rapidly changing world.

#UBI #EconomicSecurity

Old welfare programs created bureaucracy, stigma, and political battles. It’s time to move beyond the “wealth-fare trap.”

#SocialContract #Innovation

What if we stopped patching up broken systems and started building something new? The Prosperity Loop is reimagining how prosperity can flow to everyone.

#NewEconomy #FutureofWelfare

America’s social safety net is under attack. Medicaid and SNAP are being slashed, and Social Security is running out faster than expected. Is this the end of the social contract?

Maybe the weather is trying to tell us something. Carbon fees and dividends offer a new way forward—protecting our climate, growing the economy, and making sure regular people see the benefits, not just the costs.

#HeatDome #CarbonDividend #ProsperityLoop

Every time another heat record gets broken, it’s a reminder: the science says lowering carbon means fewer disasters like this. Carbon fees with a dividend give us a direct incentive to make real change, fast.

We’re all sweating through this summer together, no matter where we live or vote. A carbon dividend would make sure the solutions don’t just help the powerful—they help everyone, from rural towns to big cities.

Picture this: Instead of endless taxes and handouts, what if polluters had to pay for what they put into the air, and the money came straight back to you? That’s the idea behind the Prosperity Loop’s Freedom Dividend.

#CarbonDividend #ProsperityLoop

Heat waves and wild weather cost us all, higher food prices, bigger insurance bills, even hospital visits. Carbon fees would make the biggest polluters chip in, turning some of those costs into cash back for every American.

#HeatDome #ProsperityLoop

Imagine fighting climate change and seeing the results in your own bank account. A carbon dividend would mean polluters pay in, and the proceeds are shared out evenly, kind of like Alaska’s oil fund, but for everyone, every year.
