Don’t give your life to Christ or god or Buddha or any religion

They use you and then one day you find out it’s all lies

It would be a crime if you didn’t feed or care for your pet

Good pet care is giving them food, love and shelter unconditionally. We give them the basic necessities

Yet we don’t do the same for some animals like humans. We are still racist

If societies don’t have a UBI we are worse than animals

The simplest way I can put this is that if people and people groups don’t have and own their own arable agrarian land* it causes inequality, war and slavery, crime and poverty, and misery and despair

And I believe the same is true when people have a money system without a UBI

Every persons job that works in government is to make their country and life and experiences for the citizens better year after year

Not at the expense of one class of people, or another country or plants animals or nature
February 16, 2026 at 5:28 PM
I can’t find it now but someone said that if you worry about people scamming a UBI unconditionally makes it scam proof

Everyone receives it

If you want to lower costs you can make it opt in

Supply and demand is a theory that only applies when people need money

The prices don’t go down if the person doesn’t need money. If the venture capital has billions they don’t have to lower prices and they haven’t (psychopaths)

When you have enough money you don’t need to lower prices

The goals of the people, the goals of government, the goals of the obese and mentally ill wealthy and the goal of corporations are all different

The goal of the people are to survive y enjoy the things of life

The state is for freedom, liberty y equality of the people y progress that way*

Now look at landlords monopoly and landlordism

They increase prices year after year without increasing the quality of the product

There’s no restriction on prices

It gets worse and worse

Do wages go up to match rents? They don’t? Do you see the problem?
Why is Walmart successful?

I’ll tell you 3 secrets to their success:

- they have the lowest prices. and each year they require the manufacturer to maintain or lower that price
- they have a nearly unconditional return policy
- they stock what people need

Learn from them

Complimentary law:

A product or app must work as advertised with privacy preserving measures

Twitter steals tons of your personal data but it doesn’t need any of it to function. Apps must function as described

Imagine an electric drill that doesn’t work without Internet and phone number
New law:

Advertisements or company products must include warning labels with them like cigarettes

Ad or box: “Apple iPhone care about your privacy blah blah blah”

Warning label: “Apple does not care about privacy. They sell your data. They break many laws”

The answer is ask the people what to do and then do it

Not only people in this country but people in other countries

Is calling someone a psychopath an insult?

It’s a report card on your empathy level
Think of it as your grade in running your government

The answer is ask the people what to do. Not only people in this country but people in other countries
I have met and talked extensively to some people in power

Some are psychopaths. Some are victim blamers. Some are negligent and reckless

I’m not saying it to be mean I’m saying it because that neglect is harmful to all of society. I’m tired of seeing that neglect
If your society has poverty, homelessness, crime, corruption, exploitation, wage slavery, chattel slavery, racism, charities, resource enslavement, coercion, monopolies, fascism, fake news, vast inequalities, deaths of despair, etc

…then you have a failed state

You, not people, are failures
February 12, 2026 at 10:32 PM
I will fuck off and leave you alone when you actually care about others

Implementing a UBI, an open commons and democratizing government is a start

*no blind policies, citizens voting for bills, citizens writing laws, public debate, m4a

You don’t even give people the basic necessities
Combing your hair is not for yourself it’s for others
Dressing up nice is not for yourself it’s for others
Being a gentleman or lady is not for yourself it’s for others

It’s respect for others

Supporting a UBI is not for yourself it’s for others

You are not a gentleman or woman otherwise
February 12, 2026 at 10:24 PM
If you are trying to improve the world or doing good deeds you are wasting your time

- I’ve wasted my life trying to answer the causes of poverty and homelessness but the knowledge doesn’t matter

The things in charge don’t care. They are psychopaths & have lied about everything.
I’ve read Standings and Bregmans and recommend them both. I haven’t heard of the other two

One correction on Bregmans is that he said the past everything was worse (economically?). This may be true in European history but not in American history. If you go further back in the story of the America…

How do you like being called failures?

The solution and the redemption is to care. To not neglect others. To give power back to the people. Not be cycle paths

No matter what you do to me you are the failures

I don’t want a world like this

Going to use the Spanish letter “y” instead of the ampersand “&”. The letter “y” in Spanish means “and”.

There are a limited amount of characters that fit in a post and the ampersand is feels like it breaks up the flow of the sentence

Which looks better:

Apples y oranges
Apples & oranges

Is Apple SOC2 certified?

Can a company be SOC2 certified if it sells customers personal data?

Can a company be SOC2 certified if it sells customers non personal data?

Because IIRC Apple, Google and Microsoft all violate that requirement
February 12, 2026 at 7:06 PM
If all your product did was make the exact same thing that exists today but respected your privacy and treated you decently it would be a success

Leaving Twitter to go to Blue sky is an example of that. Which I said to many people and no one believed me

“People want privacy? No way!!”
The AI trend is now what the internet trend was thirty years ago.

Got a product? Tell investors you want to add AI to it and watch the money flow

You’ve created AI enhanced socks! Take my money!
AI powered sidewalks? Let’s do it

People know the money system is broken

What they don’t know is how harmful that has been to the entire world for nearly all of its existence

Historians know…

If money wasn’t based on gold
If people didn’t need money to survive

What problems were caused by money?

I don’t know Trump

I’ve never met him

I don’t think he cares about the poor, homeless or others but I don’t know

But one thing he says is right…

It’s fake news

The people behind that machine are vile

They may be the reason why there’s little change
February 11, 2026 at 3:46 AM
One belief I have some evidence for for why there isn’t change is that the wealthy in the world and those who control the media are blackmailing politicians and others

I’ve met some of the people who are doing the blackmailing
