Why it matters:
Direct cash isn’t charity theater; it’s practical relief that lets parents keep jobs, get to appointments, and pursue stability while politicians grandstand against helping the people who need it most.

St. Louis guaranteed income program boosted financial stability https://www.futurity.org/st-louis-guaranteed-basic-income-program-3313892/

Across the study period, families reported fewer missed rent and utility payments and reduced food insecurity. Many used the monthly payments to meet essential household needs, manage unexpected expenses, and begin building emergency savings—something most participants lacked before the program began.

Who will feed your children when all the adults loose their jobs? The government? Where will the government get their money from once there aren't enough workers to be taxed?

I wonder how it will play out. I for one want to see a #UniversalBasicIncome so that we can all survive and re-adjust to the future of work or lack thereof.

What do you want to see in the future?

As unemployment rises, the AI era of universal basic income has just got closer

There was a significant uptick in the jobless figures this week, and while many are pointing to the changes to national insurance, there is a more pressing problem facing the government, writes Chris Blackhurst

At times, I feel like hiding from what's going on in the world right now.

Then, I come across good news like this from Canada:

"The Canada #UniversalBasicIncome Pilot 2026 aims to explore the real-world impact of a #GuaranteedIncome on financial security, employment patterns, and overall quality of life."

Is the pilot perfect? Maybe not.
But it's a step in the right direction. 🙂

Go Newark, NJ! ❤️

[Mayor] "Baraka’s report shows programs aren’t about job security but about giving people room to improve. Recipient Jennymarie Idrobo [...] says the funds helped her replace her boiler and pay down some student debt."

The rich already have a #GuaranteedIncome from inherited #wealth. They don't worry about their boiler or student debt.

So why not expand #UBI to all of us?
