Is Zohran Mamdani the reincarnation of Henry George?
Because it feels like NYC just elected the guy who might finish the revolution George died trying to start.

Jeff Atwood on the moment that finally sold him on universal basic income to the point he's now putting $50M into rural UBI pilots:

"That statistic from the OpenResearch study that 26% shared their cash? That was the moment. It validated everything. It’s so simple—give people money and trust them."

The more I looked at it, the more I thought the money should be actually out there working to make the world better in some form.

There are more of us than them. Tax wealth. Do UBI. The 1% has been slowly eating the middle class for over 50 years. It's time to organize to restore the middle class and end poverty once and for all. A better world is possible. The oligarchy stands between us and that better world. Let's eat them.

« No more eight-hour days breathing office air that smells like five hundred sheets of twenty-pound bond paper roasting at a low temperature in a nearby oven. No more afternoons in which time feels stillborn. Work was never meant to be a person's whole life, so why do so many of us believe it is? »

If inequality had remained the same as it was in 1975, every American adult could be getting a universal basic income of $16k a year right now instead of the top 1% sucking it all up for themselves. GET MAD.
Sen. Bernie Sanders highlighted a new analysis showing that the wealthiest 1% has extracted $79 trillion from the bottom 90% of Americans since 1975. In 2023 alone, $3.9 trillion was redirected upward—enough to provide every U.S. worker with a $32,000 raise.

“In Finland, the number of homeless people has fallen sharply. Those affected receive a small apartment & counselling with no preconditions. 4 out of 5 people affected make their way back into a stable life. And all this is CHEAPER than accepting homelessness.”
