TioHow you can try to fix this world, realistically.Maybe you can start it first per tribe, then expand globally.Goal: humans should not have to trade in order to survive in this society. Since this creates a tsunami of problems for people and the rest of this planet. (<a href="https://www.tromsite.com/trombooks/#flipbook-the-origin-of-most-problems-1/1/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">source</a>)Plan:Basic needs trade-free.Make the most basic needs services <a href="https://trade-free.org/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">trade-free</a>. Healthcare, transportation, shelter, basic food, access to Internet (information and communication). You can do that through taxes, through volunteers, through all sort of means. Many tribes already provide some of these as trade-free, like in Europe a lot of the healthcare systems are like that. Not difficult!Basic Income.Since this world still relies on trades (money), and people may have different sort of needs and definitely wants, give everyone a basic income (say 1.000 dollars a month) with no strings attached. You can do it again through taxes, via the removal of so many institutions and resources dedicated to track people and check if they are eligible for benefits, and all of the paperwork nonsense that has been created around this. No more "benefits", no more "pensions". Forget about labeling people as employed or unemployed in regards to who should be helped.That is it!Now you will have a bunch of humans who KNOW they are taken care of. They KNOW that if they get sick they should only worry about that health problem and not a financial problem. They KNOW that they wont starve or end up on the street. They know they are SAFE.On top of this, with the money you give them monthly, they can have some power and focus on doing some useful things in this society. At least some will, if not many.This can grow up over time into a saner society of humans who can refuse to work for bullshit companies, or do any bullshit jobs. A world in which humans have the time to decide what to focus on, who to "vote" for, stay informed and properly inform others.A world where scientists or journalists should not worry about their livelihood. So they can do their "jobs" properly.We deserve and need this world. Else there is no intelligent species on this planet.<a href="https://social.trom.tf/search?tag=capitalism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#capitalism</a> <a href="https://social.trom.tf/search?tag=TradeRuinsEverything" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#TradeRuinsEverything</a> <a href="https://social.trom.tf/search?tag=money" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#money</a> <a href="https://social.trom.tf/search?tag=society" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#society</a> <a href="https://social.trom.tf/search?tag=ubi" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ubi</a> <a href="https://social.trom.tf/search?tag=basicincome" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#basicincome</a> <a href="https://social.trom.tf/search?tag=world" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#world</a> <a href="https://social.trom.tf/search?tag=work" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#work</a> <a href="https://social.trom.tf/search?tag=unemployment" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#unemployment</a>

MikeDunnAuthorMy friend's poster at yesterday's demo in S.F.We should be demanding, organizing, and fighting for the abolition of billionaires, seizing their wealth, using it to provide free public services for everyone, a universal basic income, guaranteed housing, food, healthcare, not for a return to the shitty, pre-Trump status quo.<a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/HandsOff" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#HandsOff</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/HandsOn" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#HandsOn</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/ubi" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ubi</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/oligarchy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#oligarchy</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/billionaires" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#billionaires</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/trump" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#trump</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/maga" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#maga</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/fascism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#fascism</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/healthcare" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#healthcare</a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/housing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#housing</a>

concretedogSo yeah, it's 7 years today since we lost my step dad to a vulgar cancer. At the time I was on a <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/basicincome" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#basicincome</a> trial which was a godsend. On his last day I randomly took some time out from the hospital and went and scrubbed floors at <a href="https://does.social/@DoESLiverpool" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@DoESLiverpool</a> ... the city of Liverpool and people were astonishing to me and my mum during this time, they'll always have my respect. I wrote a blog about basic income and being human at the time. <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/UBI" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#UBI</a> <a href="https://concretedog.blogspot.com/2018/04/basic-income-bereavement-and-being-human.html" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank">https://concretedog.blogspot.com/2018/04/basic-income-bereavement-and-being-human.html</a>

MutinyCrinshaw :negate:Thus, what is referred to as a "liberation from work," namely the modern increase in leisure time, is neither a liberation within work itself nor a liberation from the world shaped by this kind of work. =====You ask for a four-day work week? A 6 or 4 or even 2 hour work-day? Fine. Capitalism could afford it. We could demand it. We've seen studies that indicate <a href="https://ni.hil.ist/tags/UBI" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#UBI</a> looks positive. With enough organization & hard work, we absolutely could make those dreams come true.But it is too late now.Especially in the digital age but even before this, we do enough "work" in our supposed leisure time that it keeps the machine going. Long did comrades with feminist frameworks cry out "wages for housework" in the recognition that so much work went unpaid. Yet in Debord's analysis--& I think I agree--it's too late. Even recognizing housework as labor & paying a wage, the material basis of philosophy behind such initiatives as UBI--even the *recognition* indicates that valuation has taken place. Whether we recognize it formally or not, our every waking & sleeping hour has been funneled into the market.Yes. You dream of work. You dream of shopping. You dream of the computer. Their flashing light settled deep in your brain.Whether it's recognized with a wage or not, our every legible activity feeds market activity.<a href="https://ni.hil.ist/tags/TheoryMutiny" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#TheoryMutiny</a>

Ms. Que BanhWe need <a href="https://beige.party/tags/UBI" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#UBI</a> to be enacted & implemented.

small circle 🕊 in calmness<a href="https://mastodon.social/@unspeaker" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@unspeaker</a> > giving everyone enough of that to always ensure survival would allow everyone's actual values to flourishWho is doing the giving is the question.Particular risks of UBI imho are e.g. lulling people to sleep while AI destroys the entire jobs market, takes firm hold.. and poof.. UBI disappears again.Another hypothetical: Using <a href="https://social.coop/tags/UBI" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#UBI</a> paid by tariffs to hide destruction of gov social support and installment of a fascist regime.Related: Microfinancing was also broadly abused.

stateful being<a href="https://social.coop/@smallcircles" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@smallcircles</a> money = coordination in 1 dimensionsoftware = coordination in hyperbolic spacehardware = depends on capitalism bc silicon fabsso there's that tension of finding ways of organizing equitably atop a fundamentally alienated substrate. <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/UBI" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#UBI</a> for everyone no questions asked would solve a lot of the contradiction on a much more fundamental level. that's what everyone should be pushing for imo, anything else would be a half-measure that capitalists and bureaucrats will exploit

ÖlbaumSome Universal Basic Income detractors give the argument that it’s going to be expensive, and who is going to pay for it? But it will be temporary. See:1. LLMs take all our jobs; 2. Everyone gets UBI so they can still buy food; 3. People start dying en masse because of (1); 4. UBI becomes much, much cheaper.QED<a href="https://tooting.ch/tags/UBI" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#UBI</a> <a href="https://tooting.ch/tags/LLM" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#LLM</a> <a href="https://tooting.ch/tags/Job" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Job</a>

UBI4ME“But who will clean toilets if everyone gets UBI? Maybe… the people who want to do it, at a fair wage? Maybe... the task will get automated? Maybe the real question is: why do we accept that some jobs should be so miserable and underpaid that people only do them out of desperation? <a href="https://mastodon.world/tags/UBI" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#UBI</a> forces us to value labor instead of exploiting it and it gives us the freedom to choose the jobs we take. ❤️ <a href="https://mastodon.world/tags/UBI4ME" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#UBI4ME</a> <a href="https://mastodon.world/tags/FairWages" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#FairWages</a> <a href="https://mastodon.world/tags/UniversalBasicIncome" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#UniversalBasicIncome</a> <a href="https://mastodon.world/tags/politics" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#politics</a> <a href="https://mastodon.world/tags/CostOfLiving" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#CostOfLiving</a>

BroadwaybabytoDisabled women are more likely to experience abuse than their non disabled peers.We’re often trapped with caregivers who treat us badly & lack the financial support to leave. We may also be physically dependent on the abuser for basic activities of daily living.Many disability benefits are cut if you marry or cohabitate, which further enforces dependency.For International Women’s Day help us fight for a universal basic income, better social and medical support and access so that we may regain as much autonomy as possible. <a href="https://zeroes.ca/tags/IWD2025" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#IWD2025</a> <a href="https://zeroes.ca/tags/InternationalWomensDay" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#InternationalWomensDay</a> <a href="https://zeroes.ca/tags/disability" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#disability</a> <a href="https://zeroes.ca/tags/disabilityrights" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#disabilityrights</a> <a href="https://zeroes.ca/tags/ableism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ableism</a> <a href="https://zeroes.ca/tags/ubi" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ubi</a> <a href="https://zeroes.ca/tags/autonomy" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#autonomy</a> <a href="https://zeroes.ca/tags/abuse" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#abuse</a>

Eric Saeger, WriterRight ok, so we've tried the "corporations and rich morons using all their tax-break money to do space stuff" and their trash either blows up or lands sideways and won't work. *Now* can we try <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/M4A" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#M4A</a> and <a href="https://universeodon.com/tags/UBI" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#UBI</a>, pretty f--kin please with sugar on top?

Peter Brown<a href="https://climatejustice.social/@PabloMartini" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@PabloMartini</a> zero hours contracts will only really be solved by <a href="https://mastodon.scot/tags/ubi" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ubi</a> because there are certain kinds of work which are by their nature neither full-time nor regular. If you squeeze zero hours contracts too hard, they slide out of PAYE and into self-employment which is even worse. Believe it or not, there are certain people who prefer zero hours which gives them flexibility in managing their time. But they need to be paid decently when they are working or it doesn’t work.
