The Global Environment Outlook (GEO) report—a major report produced by 200 researchers for the UN—says the climate crisis can no longer be seen as simply environmental crises and suggests measures such as a universal basic income, taxes on meat, and subsidies for healthy, plant-based foods.

It’s time to give a year of free noblemobile.com to someone! It’s a ~$600 value probably more in savings given that the average American spends $83/month on wireless data. Just like this post and we’ll pick a winner on Tuesday. Good luck and Happy Holidays! 😀

"We’ll provide a universal basic income if adequate-paying jobs are unavailable. Face it: AI will permanently replace many jobs. No family should be left in the cold. The universal basic income won’t be so high as to make families comfortable, but it will be enough to keep them out of poverty."

This is the kind of thing I think about when someone complains that universal basic income would make people dependent on the government for survival. You instead want to depend on Tyson Foods for your survival? Do you get to vote on what corporations do??

Rep. Rashida Tlaib as part of her Economic Dignity for All agenda has introduced a new version of her BOOST Act which is now a Universal Basic Income of $250/mo paired with a new 2.5% tax on incomes over $30k to function as a phaseout. That means everyone under $150k would see a net boost in income.

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.

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.
