Reason for unconditional, universal #BasicIncome number 23847384824038
Most people don’t know that with SNAP you are banned from buying “foods that are hot at the point of sale”. So even if you have SNAP (which people don’t now) you can’t get cooked food. Which means you need to also actually have the resources to PREPARE a “healthy” meal.
Thinking about the social stigma against eating fast food in a country where poor people are being starved by the govt, the cost of groceries and fresh vegetables are astronomical, and a cheeseburger at McDonald’s costs $3.50.
“Clean” and “healthy” eating rhetoric is racist, ableist, and classist.

Like I keep saying, I'm still behind on most of my #ArtProjects. And again I have to say this wouldn't be the case if there were #BasicIncome or a #ResourceBasedEconomy.

The US government doesn't mandate that employers pay people enough to be over *the government standard* for poverty! And the elderly and disabled aren't *ALLOWED* to make even that much!
That's why #BasicIncome is so vital. EVERYONE, even those not in traditional employment, deserve a baseline.

My friends, the 1st Amendment says we are guaranteed freedom of speech. And the Supreme Court has ruled that "money is speech". I think it can fairly be argued, therefore, that we the people are all due free money! This is the rationale for instituting UBI! Universal Basic Income #UBI #BasicIncome

I think its worth pointing out that this is exactly how a UBI would work as both a poverty trap and a private sector wage subsidy
A federal job guarantee is the only policy that eliminates both involuntary unemployment and worker exploitation

The fact a *single* Amazon full-time employee requires SNAP benefits should be a crime. The fact Amazon is the largest employer of SNAP recipients is a disgrace. Jeff Bezos shouldnt be that rich; he should be in jail.

Ireland's Basic Income for the Arts scheme's indefinite extension is a significant boon for Irish artists, and those fighting for better working conditions in the creative industries elsewhere. I have written about it here:

Ireland’s basic income scheme for artists points at how governments could help sectors in crisis
It’s one of the first to make it out of the pilot stage and to offer a subsistence level payment.

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:
