Daryl the AdminEvery time someone actually tries universal basic income, it works astoundingly well. Every time.
We should do something with that information.
You know, besides bury it.
IronCladLou@djwfyi that info gets buried into the same hole as other proven facts like “every time we add another lane to a highway, traffic gets worse” 🙄
Someday, after the billionaires are gone, we’ll sift through that landfill of inconvenient-to-them ideas and build an amazing world

Ian LanghamPaying workers a living wage increases morale and productivity.
Diversity makes for a better and more productive work environment.
There's actual science on all of this.
Yup...
mathew@Langhamian @ironcladlou @djwfyi My "favorite" buried knowledge is that the most effective and cheapest way to deal with the problem of homelessness is to give people homes.
The second most effective is to just hand them money.
But no, we have to go the most expensive route *and* make the situation worse, because reasons.
vascorsd@lpar @Langhamian @ironcladlou @djwfyi most people are allergic to the concept of giving others something they had to suffer to get themselves under the unfair system that brainwashed them that it had to be that way. Kinda of a double down since they are invested in the system.

Here in Australia the choices are less complex.
The number of homeless people is less than the number of vacant dwellings.
Our fearless leaders always go for building programs, though because this is a way of further enriching the already wealthy.
Many of these leaders are also wealthy property investors.
I'm beginning to see a trend.
