When poor people buy food at supermarkets, that is the income of supermarkets. That of course has many knock-on benefits for the economy.
When asked on PBS NewsHour today for a policy prescription for AI disruption of jobs, @rbreich.bsky.social prescribed UBI.

UBI, universal healthcare, free education, affordable housing, careers that are fulfilling financially and spiritually at 30 hours/wk...
The only source of anxiety: choosing how to use your 8 weeks of annual vacation.
If we don't have a UBI, the alternative is we accept heartless treatment of the most disadvantaged or look the other way.

It's Labor Day and I'd love for unions all around the world to start pushing for universal basic income and all the additional bargaining power and strike power that UBI would provide to all workers, paid and unpaid alike.
Wenn "Wirtschaftswachstum" irgendwelche Probleme lösen würde, hätten wir die in den letzten Jahrzehnten alle gelöst.
It is taught that rich people get rich by saving up their income.
Michael Hudson explains how this myth is garbage!
Mother Earth is watching. Don't be complicit.
When buying an apartment is becoming impossible, we need to start discussing what went wrong.
The struggle against racism must be anti-capitalist, and the struggle against capitalism must be anti-racist.
Imperialism and racism are central to the capitalist world economy. The barbarism is a feature, not a bug.

UBI friends, supporters, and advocates send me your suggestions.
I will be working on updating the BasicIncomeAction.org website over the next weeks!
