Excessive inequality shortens life expectancy, increases infant mortality, corrodes social cohesion, amplifies violent crime, mental illness, domestic violence and child abuse, political instability and conflict risk. UBI directly reduces inequality [so] ... these other problems can be relieved.

Did you know there’s a policy idea where companies pay a fee for every ton of carbon they emit—and then that money is sent out as a “dividend” to everyone, no strings attached? It’s a way to turn pollution into a benefit for regular families.

100% of the net fees from carbon fees are held in a Carbon Fees Trust fund and returned directly to households as a monthly dividend.
