The future is more fluid & contested now than in many decades.
Many old political conventions & constraints are dead. Change is afoot.
Americans must dream, design, refine, inspire, & organize how to improve our communities at all scales & on all fronts.
Democracy like our lives depend on it.

There WILL BE less people like Patrick Stewart or Dolly Parton, given widening wealth inequality, loss of jobs in creative sector, austerity, privatisation of education (especially arts) & financial exclusion. Art of the near future will be less diverse & restricted to the privileged few.

Researchers in Vancouver distributed $1M from 100+ donors to people experiencing homelessness.
The results were mindboggling.
21% higher wages
40% more nights in stable housing
85% more savings after 12 months
Direct cash works.

We're seeing THE SAME THING now. An extreme wealth class who NEEDS us to believe the problem is *us*, not *them*. You see it in the "job creator" and "human resource" framing.
Unions and Universality- #BasicIncome, #SinglePayerHealthcare and #FreeEducation are the response we need now.

Bertrand Russell on Basic Income:
Russell, author of »Principia Mathematica« and a founder of analytic philosophy, was also in favor of a basic income. He writes:
»Anarchism has the advantage as regards liberty, Socialism as regards the inducements to work. Can we not find a method of combining these two advantages? It seems to me that we can. [..]
Stated in more familiar terms, the plan we are advocating amounts essentially to this: that a certain small income, sufficient for necessaries, should be secured to all, whether they work or not [..].«](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:v5pdyzvkwbvymghmbltgzecn/bafkreicm3hct4jatm5a2devx2ybrryzcz7viybvg3b2e2ytw4zxjkbdvpy)

If many people's income depends on doing the jobs they already have, then transforming our society becomes difficult. Thus, it follows:
Basic Income is a precondition for a social and ecological transformation of our society.

According to an external report, for every €1 of public money invested in the pilot, society received €1.39 in return. An external report found that the pilot program cost €72 million ($84 million) but generated nearly €80 million ($91 million) in total benefits to the Irish economy. #basicincome
