"Preventing and solving food insecurity means addressing its root cause: inadequate income. That requires lasting solutions, such as decent work with fair wages and working conditions, adequate income supports, and a basic income..."

It felt to me like it really accelerated when mask freakout videos became an income stream.

What is an unsexy policy that if passed would immediately help millions of people?

Japan caps medical bills based on income

its "High-Cost Medical Expense Benefit" limits costs for care, lower-income people facing lower costs

the system was designed so a serious illness isn't also a financial catastrophe

Universal basic income, anyone?
People with access to time, security, and curiosity who are encouraged to be in thoughtful dialogue with likewise supported experts will pretty much work every time.

Democrat Keisha Lance Bottoms won Georgia’s gubernatorial election last week in a historic result, prompting guaranteed income advocates to celebrate a former cash-pilot pioneer ascending to the statehouse.

She is a state-funded universal basic income pioneer.

This sounds fake, but no, £500,000 or 2% of their income (£60mn) if they "fail in their duty to uphold free speech."
Important to note that the REASON Oxford University couldn’t legally refuse Cofnas is because BRIDGET PHILIPPSON imposed a law that compels them to allow him to speak even though they don’t want him there.

In plain English;

*He is speaking because THE LABOUR PARTY wants him to speak.*
i do feel sympathy for Oriel who could not legally refuse the booking and have made it very clear they do not welcome it

but also lmao

Dear Roger Douglas:

Has it occurred to you that a key *problem* is variants of your reforms persisting?

Also: GST doesn’t just "tax disposable income" (his words), it taxes *essential* income, hitting lower incomes badly.

Giving chatgpt access to one's finances will certainly make your income disposable.

Pro-UBI New Zealand party wins 7 seats, up from 0.

Deputy leader Daniel Eb on their universal citizen's income: "You just have the cash, and we trust you to spend it the right way."

A basic income party is now in parliament.

Let’s see, one fun thing about a webcomic is that if you can make a sustainable income off it, well one that’s amazing and you’re very lucky, but two it can also be a genuinely good and stable income as well as something to work on when you “don’t know what to work on.” It can be very stabilizing.
Genuinely curious about this, but for people who make webcomics, what are your goals?
To create a story for you, challenge yourself, connect to others, etc- I want to know!

Person worked all their life - paid several hundred thousand in tax on their earned income. The system is OK.

Matilda here got a massive one-off windfall (sorry for her loss), and paid tax on unearned income, rightly. The system is OK.

National free school lunch for all kids (not income based)

The income based system stamps POORS on the kids who get it. Seen a decent amt of bullying in my high school teaching days on those grounds.

The business case for basic income is overwhelming.

As long as the GOP controls Georgia’s Senate any real help for the working man will be hard to get passed. Keisha Lance Bottoms is trying though. Republicans do not care about everyday people. We need them out of GA’s Senate!
