They say get an education. The education and skill didn’t matter. They could have chosen the other candidates. The higher wages didn’t matter. The area where I moved to the rent was eating up that higher pay. So yes it was ultimately bullshit and victim blaming.

Yes it’s why we need a UBI

I had submitted over a 100 in one month at one time. I had searched for work for three years.

I finally found a job and it took 3 interviews over the course of three months and driving across the state 12 hrs away.

And I still could have lost the job bc I was competing with someone as qualified

How is the book so far?

Our PM talked about bold moves , and changing how things are done. Ok , then how about being bold and implement a UBI. I have zero issue moving on from the US , something I wish we had done a long time ago but until his moves help the desperate, his words will not be heard .

It’s been a year or so since I looked into it. I think they are both bundlers that compile typescript but Vite might have a server aspect like Node. Vite had a lot going for it but I couldn’t use it

*it’s on GitHub. If you make client side projects in the future it can save you time and frustration

I tried to use Vite but eventually settled on Bun. I made a base-class-ts as a starter for client side typescript based web projects to help bring OOP to client side projects

How Money is Born out of Public Spending and Dies by Taxes If there's one thing most people don't seem to understand about how money works that I think would really help governments work better in the 21st century, it's that money does not flow in the way we ...

Correct. Money itself is not the issue.

I made a robot
And I gave it free will
But it’s not doing what I told it to
So I’m going to send it to hell

I’m a good creator
I’m good all the time
The robot doesn’t obey
So it’s bad and it needs me to save it
If it doesn’t believe in me and love me I’m going to send it to hell

I went to the office in Newport and they turned me away

Hey my Gmail has been hacked and I can’t get hold of anyone to get it restored. What can I do to fix it?

What’s wrong with you?

This article argues that Epstein's was able to exploit women and girls in part because of their economic vulnerability. It sites my work on mandatory participation.

The wealthy sometimes feel like they are paying for the poor or whatever. So if they don’t get a UBI it could cause bitterness in shallow and short sighted wealthy people

We should think of UBI as a utility maybe

You could also put it another way,

“The wealthy don’t need a UBI so exclude them.”

“No, the wealthy are paying more in taxes and while they don’t need it we should include them in UBI also so they don’t feel excluded or different simply because their income is higher than someone else’s income”

When they blame you remind them

- you raised me
- you taught me
- you built the infrastructure that was created before I existed

If I fail it’s because you failed or it’s because there are problems in this world

Victim blaming is a sign of ignorance

“If you say you need UBI we trust you. It’s unconditional

We, the state, had 12 years of school to teach you. If you’re a failure and can’t survive we failed you and we are a failure.

If you can’t survive maybe it’s the world that’s a failure of failing.”

“We trust you and we believe that by the time you are an adult we have taught you enough not to scam the system.

If you do that’s our fault because we have had 12 years of schooling to teach you to be honest, to find work, to start a business to go on to more school.”

Get rid of all means testing and do this:

“We give everyone a UBI unconditionally (because of we didn’t it would be murder) but you have to opt in to it so we don’t waste money.”

A lot of these issues with means testing and benefits applications should simply be unconditional for all but opt in

“We give everyone a UBI unconditionally (because of we didn’t it would be murder) but you have to opt in to it so we don’t waste money.“

Not all work is a job.
Not all jobs are work.
Not all work is meaningful.
Not all jobs are meaningful.
Not all meaning is obtained through jobs or work.

Good jobs, meaningful work, and the pursuit of purpose are all better enabled by the creation of an unconditional universal basic income floor.

Or a combination of UBI and then royalties or to the company where the companies get a percentage of what you produce

💯 When wages replaced payment for productivity the workers lost motivation and connection to collective succes

When you are paid by the hour where is the incentive if you get paid the same for producing 100 widgets or 10?

Should wages be banned?

And maybe pay via profit sharing or pay royalties

Mark Twain: "What I have done I have done, because it has been play. If it had been work I shouldn't have done it. Who was it who said, 'Blessed is the man who has found his work'? Whoever it was he had the right idea in his mind. Mark you, he says his work - not somebody else's work. The work that is really a man's own work is play and not work at all. Cursed is the man who has found some other man's work and cannot lose it. When we talk about the great workers of the world we really mean the great players of the world. The fellows who groan and sweat under the weary load of toil that they bear never can hope to do anything great. How can they when their souls are in a ferment of revolt against the employment of their hands and brains? The product of slavery, intellectual or physical, can never be great."

We are not our job titles. No human can be defined by the work they do so long as they must do whatever work they can find in exchange for existence money.

Absent UBI, you're not a telemarketer. You're a human who food + housing is withheld from to get you to sell a slice of your soul to stay alive

The enclosure movement, arrogance and settler colonization destroyed much of an abundant and rich ecosystem

If states open and restore the commons and start distributing to everyone a UBI and respect nature and include the public in policy it will organically begin to fulfill Paines goals

The land the Europeans and settlers colonized became the United States and bright with it European progress but also European poverty, homelessness and misery.

The natives lived as on vacation until the Europeans arrived

The Native Americans lived as on a continual holiday while at the same time in history millions were in misery and poverty in Europe

The natives were called a racial slur when they were called savage but they had no poverty and no homelessness.

The land the United States claims…

They believe they’ve earned their wealth all on their own and they deserve it all …or they don’t care

What if we give them money they didn’t earn or don’t deserve?

What happens then?

That’s the scientific method

I get what you’re saying. But when people disagree the next option is to try it and see

That’s the scientific method. Forming an opinion and proving it with trial and error

We’ve given basic income to villages, towns, the poor and homeless and it’s worked

We could also try giving it to wealthy
