UBI
what’s that? ik it is universal basic income but don’t know what it actually means
It means get rid of the ultra rich, and you can establish a baseline of income / stability for everyone. Its an extremely small group of people who couldn’t exist without the 99% being poor / working our asses off no matter how much productivity and technology has advanced
Everyone gets a set amount, like $10k.
$10k helps people only making $35k annually a lot more than people making $500k, and those people making $500k are paying a lot more in taxes.
It’s wealth redistribution and it will need to happen as automation begins to impact the middle-class a lot more.
Or the upper class spend that money on building bigger walls.
If there was a country ripe for a revolution, this would be it.
Americans: “Only 40%? Those are rookie numbers…”
These numbers are a little misleading. Debt is included, the bottom 20% have negative wealth. A person in the 21 percentile has more wealth that the bottom 45% combined.
What percentage of the nation’s guillotines are owned and operated by the rich?
Wow. Not too shocking.
