Of COURSE it works, the evidence from around the world prove it. But capitalists can't make money on it, so it will never work because capitalists control every-fucking-thing with a $ on it. Fuck capitalism, it is the death of us all.
We have enough evidence for UBI in general that this policy should be a given. But the difference is, to understand UBI works is to believe that people are fundamentally good. And a big chunk of society is built around the belief, *must maintain the belief* that people are fundamentally bad.
"By the end of the two-year period, 94% of participants reported they were housed."
A million pilot programs show the same thing: when people are given enough money to afford housing, homelessness ends.
Other supports matter, but housing comes first. Not policing. Not moralizing. Homes.

It's Danii and her perpetual, intellectual swan dive to the bottom of the pool. Can she (and Alberta in general) be any less intelligent and any more ridiculous? Stay tuned ...

This thread and especially the researcher's root thread are absolutely required reading.
Nicole's thread is also bang-on from my experience of doing workplace harassment trainings.

With appearances on “Fox & Friends” and many mostly far-right U.S. and Canadian podcasts, larger-than-life lawyer Jeffrey Rath has emerged as the cowboy-hatted figurehead for the Alberta Prosperity Project, or APP.

This is the core issue: our system can hand full power to a party that most voters didn’t choose.
That makes politics feel like damage control instead of representation.
