It's Time to Walk the Walk for Universal Basic Income (UBI)
UBI means some pay more tax but most net ahead. Walk the walk now: align monthly giving with your likely net tax and help build the income floor.

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.

Disney/ABC have a responsibility to refuse to participate in corruption.
Kimmel must be reinstated. If Disney/ABC agree to this extortion then perhaps creatives + workers should consider collective action to push back. Same w/buying park + cruise tickets if they bow.

Us: hey, could you put some of those billions of dollars you'll never be able to spend in 50 lifetimes to healing the planet, and creating universal healthcare and basic income?
Them: nah, we want an absolute dystopia so you all want to go to mars.
Us: uh... how about no.

Universal Basic Income isn't communism. It is the key that unlocks the chains, freeing people to be able to live and pursue their passions, including passions of competing against companies who only sell enshitified products for maximum profit with actual quality products to benefit consumers.

The disingenuous take advantage of confusion, so after well over 150 years, Darwin's Theory of Evolution is still very misunderstood by the public.
One thing that seems to trip up people's thinking is the meaning of the word "theory"...

On 10 June 1944, 81 years ago today, German occupation forces in Greece massacred 228 Greek villagers. The Nazis raped and mutilated women, disemboweled pregnant women, slaughtered men with bayonets, “strangled the women with their own guts. They cut the throats of all infants.”

Isms are dead. Instead, eliminate the profit motive for all essentials like food, shelter, healthcare and education. Use Mark Cuban's template www.costplusdrugs.com. Then, you still have a free market for all the people's wants but an equitable market for all their needs.
