It's true! When I studied economics, I was stunned by the ROI of social programs. Every dollar spent on childcare returns about $2.80 to the economy, and healthcare delivers even greater returns with broader social impact.
A universal basic income is simply smart fiscal policy. Why the reluctance?

For every €1 provided through a Basic Income For Artists pilot program in Ireland, the government got €1.46 back. So it’s being made permanent.
Over and over we see it. It saves public money to provide public housing. And it makes public money to provide basic income.
We can’t afford to NOT do it.

Damn. This is amazing. £325 per week, paid monthly, for 3 years - and the result was a profit for the Irish economy:

I en tid med politisk kamp mod rettighederne skubber domstolene endelig tilbage. Hvis du har været udsat for overgreb, kan du få advokatbistand og domstolsprøvelse for statens regning. #dkpol #dkjura #menneskerettigheder #nøgenvisitation

This is MASSIVE!! The Italian navy has dispatched a ship to protect the Freedom Flotilla carrying food and aid, trying to break the siege. The Flotilla was attacked last night, and it has Italian citizens on board.
Someone is going to help them.

Perfidious Albion owes Palestine more than just recognition
Britain's recognition of Palestinian statehood is too little, too late, given it was the architect of the bloodshed that has engulfed the region for more than 100 years

Skal love for at sådan et light underholdningsprogram lige pludselig nærmest blev til en dokumentar om racisme i USA. Fascinerende at følge med i, men også bare dybt hjerteskærende.

Det lader til, at landet bliver ledet af folkevalgte med en paranoid psykose
Politikere og meningsdannere blæser til åndelig oprustning, men bidrager med det stik modsatte: reaktionær, nationalistisk åndsformørkelse.

And it works even more effectively in a democratic financial system.
