My Dad won his third American Backgammon Tour this year & he’s being inducted into the American Backgammon Hall of Fame.

Very proud of him! 🎲🎲

Countries that implement #UBI make immigration a greater net win for citizens.

Newcomers expand the tax base that funds the dividend, while gaining stronger incentives to enter legally and eventually naturalize.

Yup, I’m a Centrist Liberal with a focus on Distributism (UBI, Universal Healthcare, Paid Leave, etc.)

The Right Wing doesn't really want small government.

They just want a massive one that punishes the people they hate (police state) instead of one that helps them (welfare state).

Universal Basic Income acts as an automatic stabilizer.

Sustains demand in recessions
Boosts local economies
Reduces inequality
Improves resilience to automation
Smooths regional disparities
#UBI

We won't have accountable law enforcement until officers, not taxpayers, face financial penalties for recklessness.

Mandate liability insurance for all officers to pay victims.

Reckless acts raise premiums.
If it becomes unaffordable, they shouldn't be cops, ICE agents, etc.

Universal Basic Income disproportionately helps the marginalized.

Cuts child poverty
Improves gender equity by supporting unpaid caregivers
Shrinks racial & regional income gaps #UBI

Universal Basic Income simplifies government by having fewer means tests:

Lower admin costs
Fewer exclusion errors
No work/marriage disincentives
Tougher for fraudsters to abuse

By lowering downside risk, Universal Basic Income enables startups, freelancing, creative work, and experimentation, especially small businesses who lack access to capital or safety nets. #UBI

Universal Basic Income boosts freedom & agency with an unconditional cash floor, free from means-tested welfare's bureaucracy, stigma & benefit cliffs, enabling risks, education, & ventures without survival worries.

Less short-term survival thinking
More long-term planning. #UBI

Income security from Universal Basic Income improves health.

Lower stress & better mental health, improved nutrition, and preventative primary care becomes more affordable #UBI

Universal Basic Income improves labor markets by giving workers leverage.

Better job matching
Less exploitative work
More time for training
Stability for entrepreneurship
Resources for caregivers
Little evidence of broad work disincentives. #UBI

Universal Basic Income creates a real income floor: cuts poverty, smooths volatile earnings, boosts food & housing security, lowers debt, increases savings, and strengthens resilience to shocks especially for low-income and unstable households. #UBI

Progress isn’t capitalism or socialism, it’s balance.

Free markets drive growth/protect rights, but unchecked wealth hoarding erodes freedom. Pure collectivism overregulates into scarcity.

Smart floors like UBI & Universal Healthcare create stability without killing innovation.

Targeted welfare programs create income cliffs and distort behavior.

Universal Basic Income creates a stable floor not a safety net to get tangled & caught in.

Stable, predictable, and incentive-neutral. #UBI

Universal childcare sounds elegant until you add income verification, provider rules, audits, waitlists, and enforcement.

Universal Basic Income skips the bureaucracy and lets families decide what they actually need. #UBI

Fraud thrives in complexity.

Universal Basic Income is simple: same amount, same rules, no discretion.

Simplicity isn’t a weakness, it’s the strongest form of accountability. #UBI

Government is good at sending checks. It’s bad at micromanaging lives.

Universal Basic Income respects personal choice while cutting administrative waste. #UBI
