Just days remaining to crowdfund this cash app that rounds up and donates it to a UBI distribution pool!

I’m excited that someone on Reddit commented great idea!

Universal basic income supporters. Please consider helping to move UBI forward! 🙏🏼

Additionally, in the New York Times on May 27th, 1968 over 1000 economists came out in support of a guaranteed income.
This included Paul A. Samuelson who wrote one of our Econ textbooks around that time.
