@drustevenson I look forward to reading this. For some context, a federal #JobGuarantee aka #FJG is central tenet of #MMT. See https://pavlina-tcherneva.net/

@blackbulldog @maryeffrancis The MMT #JobGuarantee #jg #ujg #fjg #njg as an automatic stabilizer

RT @[email protected]

#MMT economists have been saying for decades that a #JobGuarantee is an automatic stabilizer. When the private sector is laying off millions of workers, the Federal government must step in as the employer of last resort.

@blackbulldog @maryeffrancis
Let me know when you are all caught up so the #inflation thread can move into the job guarantee #jg #fjg #njg #ujg

And then a few other titbits

This to my mind makes the case for Universal Basic Services as described by

I believe the UK is now calling it a Social Guarantee

Hi I'm AusMMT from #Australia. I look forward to sharing educative & informative toots about Modern Monetary Theory #mmt to you all.

@radiojammor @monika @openscience wait until RJ hears a #fjg #jg is a type of #ubi

All I did was expand the definition of “work”. Apparently, we are not the someones up on the literature.

I love how I have to be informed I'm muted. That says more about RJ than me. I just mute people when they “don’t get it” or they continue to make “weak” or “nonsense arguments”

If anyone wants to hear the case against a JG being a benefit payment, let me know. Cheers #mmt

@radiojammor @DrALJONES @monika @openscience “ People only drop out of work to care for people (children, family, etc) or to take education, usually with the view to change the work they do”
These become jobs under a #fjg #jg
@openscience all for a basic income but you have to understand the macroeconomics of why a universally given #ubi is bad. I suggest ubi advocates what compensation for informal work. Well that’s a #fjg #economics #basicincome #mmt
