#DomesticAbuse traps victims in cycles of fear—often because leaving means financial ruin.
#UniversalBasicIncome (#UBI) changes that, giving victims agency without bureaucratic hurdles.
No approvals, no means-testing—just freedom to leave NOW.
No more choosing between abuse and homelessness. UBI covers a bus ticket, a security deposit, food while rebuilding.
It won’t solve everything, but it’s a lifeline when every second counts. 
We need #UBI to be enacted & implemented.
Wealth should be a hobby, not a weapon.
> giving everyone enough of that to always ensure survival would allow everyone's actual values to flourish
Who 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 #UBI paid by tariffs to hide destruction of gov social support and installment of a fascist regime.
Related: Microfinancing was also broadly abused.
in calmness
money = coordination in 1 dimension
software = coordination in hyperbolic space
hardware = depends on capitalism bc silicon fabs
so there's that tension of finding ways of organizing equitably atop a fundamentally alienated substrate.
#UBI 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
Artificial Intelligence, the Collapse of Consumer Society, and Oligarchy https://d.repec.org/n?u=RePEc:iza:izadps:dp17682&r=&r=ain
"The pace of progress in artificial intelligence has resurrected worries about the end of work. Some people call for an egalitarian society based on universal basic income, while others think regulation should curb the use of #AI.
… While, in partial equilibrium, they would benefit from AI as replacement of the knowledge workers they need to operate their business, in general equilibrium massive use of AI might be self defeating because it would lead to a collapse of the middle class of #skilledWorkers and therefore of the market base for mass produced goods.
… If influence depends on the number of agents exerting influence ("one person, one vote"), AI will prevail and be supplemented with #UBI, provided fiscal capacity is large enough to fund for such UBI. If fiscal capacity does not allow for enough #redistribution, then the #oligarchy may want to curb AI so as to maintain a high enough demand for skilled workers, so as to preserve the market base for mass produced goods.
… If influence is chiefly driven by monetary contributions ("one dollar, one vote"), AI is likely to prevail and no UBI will be implemented, because producers of necessities, who do not value the existence of a large middle class, will outbid producers of more sophisticated goods in the competition to obtain one’s most preferred outcome.… "

The #WealthGap isn’t just growing - it’s exploding. Wages stagnate while profits soar.
A few billionaires control more wealth than all the other people combined - and with that, billionaires control politics and who is in government!
#UBI doesn’t “punish success” - it ensures #everyone has a chance to succeed. Because no one should have to beg for basic survival in the richest era in history.
@zazzoo @AWolfInCheapClothing Ugh. So should we stop learning? What's the point? Maybe the tech bros should take a few ethics courses and think this through. #UBI
> Universal Basic Income was one of the democratically and officially endorsed demands of the British Women’s Liberation Movement. But unfortunately this fact has become steeped in collective amnesia. An amnesia that may have started at the very moment of the resolution’s passing.

@ihuguet @osfa_2030 pero también he pensado una crítica desde la izquierda podría ser la que se hace, por ejemplo, entre los defensores de la Renta básica universal.
Además de ser un mecanismo redistributivo y de justicia social, la #RBU #UBI ayudaría a terminar con la burocracia de las ayudas, que parecen más centradas en poner obstáculos a quienes más lo necesitan que en resolver los problemas que dicen combatir.
