Anon OpinAs yet another UBI trial rolls past showing that it works really well, it's hard not to conclude that the main reason nobody adopts it is because bad employers don't want to give up their leverage over the desperate and poor to work in shit conditions for pittance.
๐ฎ๐จ๐๐ฆ๐๐ฉ ยท๐ฆ๐๐๐ก๐ฑ@anon_opin these kinds of policies are possible if you have a strong and independent labor movement, strong unions, the ability to call a general strike, and a disciplined socialist party leading the charge.
Without these, we have little hope of holding the rich in check. Progressive liberals don't have the institutional support to pass UBI programs with all the attendant checks on the rich to prevent them from sabotaging the economy to "prove" that "UBI doesn't work".
These are all things we can start building today.
