Basic income is one of the best tools we have to save the arts from AI taking away our jobs. Artists deserve to live, and we need the arts to imagine a better future

Two-thirds of people living in poverty are employed, yet they still struggle to make ends meet. It’s clear that change is necessary. A universal basic income could help restore dignity and stability to our lives. #UBI #UBIworks @mark-carney.bsky.social #canpoli #cdnpoli

Food banks in Canada are calling on Canadians donating food this holiday season to also reach out to their members of Parliament to advocate for the implementation of basic income to keep people above the poverty line and "put food banks out of business."

"After 20 months of data collection and analysis, the research team submitted four major reports to Fairfax County... The results were clear: Unrestricted cash payments [of $750/mo] had a profound stabilizing effect, and in some cases boosted financial mobility for participating ALICE families."

THIRTY SIX PERCENT REDUCTION IN PARTNER VIOLENCE. There’s a lot here, but that stands out. #UBIworks
New study out. This one tested quarterly vs biweekly cash. The amount was $500/mo for 2 years (2021-23). 695 people got the money. FT labor didn't decrease. PT did on average. Effects varied by gender. Single mothers worked far more. Men who got it reduced their abuse of women by 36pp. CC debt fell.

I've been researching the idea of Unconditional Universal Basic Income since 2013. Here's a collection of findings I've compiled from various UBI experiments and studies of cash transfer programs around the world.

A basic income program in central Iowa gave 110 people $500/mo. It caused improvements in savings, stress, and agency. It also found significant changes in scores relating to hope — the ability to create goals and feel capable of working toward them, and also increases in mattering and self-reliance

#UBIworks EVERY TIME and EVERYWHERE they test it without a single exception
Pretty much every one of these studies comes up with similar results.
Denver gave people experiencing homelessness $1,000 a month.
Results showed that close to half of the participants secured housing, and nearly $600K saved in public service costs due to fewer ER visits & jail stays. They also saw improved mental health.
