„Wir finden keine Evidenz dafür, dass Menschen es lieben, nichts zu tun“, sagt Susann Fiedler von der Wirtschaftsuniversität Wien, einer der Studienautorinnen.

There was an interesting long-term study regarding a universal basic income in Germany recently. The results are presented here: https://www.pilotprojekt-grundeinkommen.de/en#studienergebnissen

Very interesting and very positive.

How you can try to fix this world, realistically.

Maybe you can start it first per tribe, then expand globally.

Goal: humans should not have to trade in order to survive in this society. Since this creates a tsunami of problems for people and the rest of this planet. (source)

Plan:

Basic needs trade-free.

Make the most basic needs services trade-free. Healthcare, transportation, shelter, basic food, access to Internet (information and communication). You can do that through taxes, through volunteers, through all sort of means. Many tribes already provide some of these as trade-free, like in Europe a lot of the healthcare systems are like that. Not difficult!

Basic Income.

Since this world still relies on trades (money), and people may have different sort of needs and definitely wants, give everyone a basic income (say 1.000 dollars a month) with no strings attached. You can do it again through taxes, via the removal of so many institutions and resources dedicated to track people and check if they are eligible for benefits, and all of the paperwork nonsense that has been created around this. No more "benefits", no more "pensions". Forget about labeling people as employed or unemployed in regards to who should be helped.

That is it!

Now you will have a bunch of humans who KNOW they are taken care of. They KNOW that if they get sick they should only worry about that health problem and not a financial problem. They KNOW that they wont starve or end up on the street. They know they are SAFE.

On top of this, with the money you give them monthly, they can have some power and focus on doing some useful things in this society. At least some will, if not many.

This can grow up over time into a saner society of humans who can refuse to work for bullshit companies, or do any bullshit jobs. A world in which humans have the time to decide what to focus on, who to "vote" for, stay informed and properly inform others.

A world where scientists or journalists should not worry about their livelihood. So they can do their "jobs" properly.

We deserve and need this world. Else there is no intelligent species on this planet.

My friend's poster at yesterday's demo in S.F.

We should be demanding, organizing, and fighting for the abolition of billionaires, seizing their wealth, using it to provide free public services for everyone, a universal basic income, guaranteed housing, food, healthcare, not for a return to the shitty, pre-Trump status quo.

Just wanted you to remind you of some good news going into your weekend: ABQ city council approved a UBI pilot for struggling families. Hats off to Councillors Klarissa J. Peña and Nichole Rogers! #forward #ubi #abq #families
