It’s not the peoples job to fund the schools.
It’s the governments.
Teachers need paid more.
Schools need better funding.
Why is America so broke?

You can even see it happening in the video on the Casio upper right side!

I've been researching the idea of Unconditional Basic Income since 2013. Here's a list of findings I've compiled from various UBI experiments, unconditional cash transfer studies, and cash dividend research.
The data speaks for itself.

My friends, open you minds for a moment…
Keeping people poor
is a political choice we can no longer afford,
with so much human potential wasted.
We need a universal basic income.

At home with Covid right now and all I can think about is the money I’m not making because I have to miss work.
It sucks.
I know we don’t have one,
And likely never will at this rate,
But a UBI would be allowing me
peace of mind to focus on resting.
@creation247
It’s completely appropriate.
If teaching kids to be kind and respect others regardless of gender norms is controversial,
then maybe the real issue isn’t Bluey—it’s outdated thinking 🤔
In the last eight months, life has tossed me a couple curveballs - In December I found out I'm going to be a dad!
Psyched as I was, I knew my paycheck wasn't going to cut it. So, I asked the boss for a raise - strike three.
Two previous attempts in the last year and a half

Thanks for all you’re doing, Scott.

We often view poverty as an unfortunate circumstance but it's also a monumental waste of human potential. By implementing UBI, we give everyone the financial stability to pursue purpose and contribute to society in meaningful ways. Let's not overlook the power of human potential.
UBI is not going to cause less people to work.
It WILL give them the ability to say no to toxic workplaces.
It’s doable.
There’s no reason not to try.
It’s not gonna solve every problem;
But it WILL give people the ability
to work on
or try to solve the bigger problems.
If we want a better world full of higher-functioning individuals within stronger communities, we must implement universal basic income. It's that simple.
Y’all, I just broke 800 followers!
This group right here is one of the best groups of people on this platform.
They are no doubt part of the reason I’m here and still growing!

Words cannot express how much I love this woman and I am beyond excited to meet our little Isadore.
Hi, I'm Devin--but you can call me Dev!
I thought I'd take a second to introduce myself and explain a bit about what it is I'm trying to accomplish here!
First of all, everything I do,
I do for my wife, Araseli, and our son, Isadore.
They are my entire world.
I was one of the
This right here is exactly why everyone should get UBI.
Think of the mental health improvements nationwide.
Shame on those who would lobby to stop these pilot programs.
@growing_daniel
I mean, humans have a right to choose wether or not they want to be here and should have the option to go peacefully.
“We can’t save everyone; but that doesn’t mean we shouldn’t try.”
is what I often say.
Would love to find solutions to bring that number down, for sure!
“Dev, I just don’t get it… why did you pick open-mindedness for your personal brand?”
Because having an open-mindset is what’s helped me grow the most. As a person.
“And why do you think people will like that?”
It’s not about what they like or dislike; Everyone has their own
My wife deserves a paycheck and a half for all the work she does staying home with our son.
Some jobs really don’t even need to be around anymore;
I definitely agree here
👇
An amazing parent caring for their kid at home isn't contributing less to society than someone working for a paycheck in some bullshit job that doesn't even need to exist, that is actively harming the environment or other people.
Universal basic income would value all care work.
@GailAlfarATX
Imagine.
A world where people are treated like human beings and respected for their decision to withhold from having children because of the state of our society.
Or—OR!
A society that benefits all so that people feel like this is a good place to bring a new human into!
Eight months ago,
I embarked on a journey inspired by
a simple yet profound
observation:
Every job I’ve had (and I’ve had a lot)
It wasn’t just me—the people around me weren’t being taken care of
or appreciated enough.
That realization (and the events after)

This gentleman was low on gas, posted up here at the gas station I stopped at.
He asked if I could spare a few dollars for gas. I didn’t have any cash,

I was just saying I hadn’t made a sale since April, right?
Well, guess what?
We broke the spell and made a sale!
And the crazy thing was,
It was right in the middle of work when it happened.

Overrated, maybe.
Definitely not useless.
A quote I enjoy:
“Believe in yourself and you’re halfway there”
This implies there’s still a ways to go, and that there’s work yet to be done.

“A country with its own currency that thinks it has to come up with taxes first in order to spend is far more likely to think in terms of money limits instead of economic capacity and resource limits.”
Hi, I'm Devin, I'm almost 32, and I grew up without a father. This has greatly impacted how I see my role as a father to my son, Isadore. I want to be there for him and provide a safe and engaged family life.

As we gently sail into another weekend, there’s something about this pause that invites introspection.
