There is no point in denying or sugarcoating it. The economy is likely to crash. I don't think we Americans will be ready for what is coming. This may be worse than the 2008 crash. youtu.be/G984geX-9xo?...

"The reason you are getting poor is because your wealth is being squeezed out by the rich and super rich. They are taking their wealth from you. You are unable to compete with them. The working class is being bankrupted. The middle class is disappearing. Tax wealth, not work."

This is a very sad story, but what makes me crazy is that people tried to explain that this is what would happen and got caricatured as "woke" hysterics www.usatoday.com/story/news/n...
He voted for Trump. Now his wife sits in an ICE detention center.
ICE's deportation actions signal that anyone who isn't a US citizen is 'at risk – period,' immigration attorney says.

Hey Elon, are you going to "DOGE" the DEA, CIA, DOD, and Homeland Security? I bet a lot of taxpayer money is wasted in those agencies. Just a thought!

Mark Carney just won with 86% of the vote and will now be the next PM of Canada. One of the big questions now is if he will respond to Trump’s tariffs with basic income, which he knows is needed anyway in response to AI, and has the support of his party.

For those of you who scold those of us who are asking WTF the Dems are doing, take note. Decorum and incumbent entitlement have emasculated the party, i.e., voting for 74- yr-old Connelly instead of AOC as minority leader of the Oversight Committee. It wasn't her turn, don't you know.
Bernie out there working.

I think our federal government is rapidly becoming a techno-feudal state. The writing is on the wall. Much to process.

I wrote this back in 2016 for The Boston Globe. It's maddening to see DeepSeek happen almost a full decade later and still no universal basic income in sight. Even worse, oligarchy has installed an authoritarian to cut their taxes and eviscerate jobs and wages with AI to further enrich themselves.

Yeah, can we someone like this run for president for 2028?
Just uploaded the latest episode of The Basic Income Show. We talked about Mark Carney and what he has said about AI and the need for "social supports" like UBI in Canada. It is the exact opposite to Keir Starmer's approach to AI in the UK. Also, more UBI evidence!

Most corporations are overvalued, and the majority of government projects are inflated—both designed to concentrate wealth at the top. UBI is different; its designed to directly channel resources and opportunities to the working masses at the bottom.
