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

Still hopping on one leg with a walker, but the swelling is going down and it’s healing. Thanks for checking in.

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.

I fell on a slippery floor in the temple. It was a twist break and rather severe. Thank goodness I was able to get the surgery or I would’ve been lame for life.

Almost a month ago. It’s been grueling. Doc says 4 to 6 months before I can walk properly again.

Orthopedic surgeon said it was a difficult surgery but it is healing. Got the staples out but still not allowed to put weight on it. Pain has lessened and I’m hanging in there.

"Without new visions we don't know what to build, only what to knock down."

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.

Carly Goodman @carlygoodman.bsky.social · 16d

Was rereading Robin Kelley this morning:

Trying to envision "somewhere in advance of nowhere,” as poet Jayne Cortez puts it, is an extremely difficult task, yet it is a matter of great urgency. Without new visions we don't know what to build, only what to knock down. We not only end up confused, rudderless, and cynical, but we forget that making a revolution is not a series of clever maneuvers and tactics but a process that can and must transform us.

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.
