BREAKING: Marshall Islands becomes the first country to launch a Universal Basic Income program. Every resident (about 33,000 people) will receive $200 every 3 months. This works out to being about 11% of GDP per capita. If the US did that same percentage, the UBI would be about $770/mo.

We aren’t built to carry 8 billion people in our heads at all times. If every country had universal basic income, we could focus on our own lives and communities without feeling like someone else’s poverty is our fault for not doing more.

Universal basic income was needed decades ago, but it's even more needed now. We must decouple survival from jobs. Universal healthcare is needed too for this. We must demand these things and vote accordingly.
Chilling piece on employment effects of AI on early careers. Includes this line, which will probably become the norm for many firms: "Managers at Shopify must now justify hiring a human by first explaining why AI can’t do the job."

The Job Market is Rolling Over
Friday brought with it a staggeringly negative jobs report... This means that the last 3 months have been the weakest job creation period since COVID. Markets suffered.

US GDP is now over $29 trillion, or about $85k per person, even before AI kicks in. That seems like enough to eliminate poverty.

Our economy is running on the spending of the top 10%. It does not care about the bottom 60%. I think this is also why they aren't pushing for universal basic income right when you'd think they would to maintain consumer buying power. Our consumer economy has become reoriented around elite spending.

Don't tell me that fascism means it's not the time to talk about universal basic income and healthcare. We absolutely need a vision of what to fight for instead of just what we're fighting against. Paint the picture.

They always say the same basic thing. They are always wrong. And we should do what we have always done and do the thing that needs doing anyway, which this time around is universal basic income and healthcare, and a 4-day workweek.

It's possible (albeit less likely since recording this) that Thailand could implement a Negative Income Tax in 2027, which could make it the first country with a permanent guaranteed basic income floor. What makes the approach different from UBI is the phaseout rate based on an income test.
