Keeping everyone employed for no reason, by allowing capital to come up with billions of silly jobs, makes no economic sense.

We can not continue to allow capital to employ billions of us. That's why we need #basicincome.

I'd say the most common response to universal basic income is some variant of "it will just increase prices!" In response, I frequently find myself explaining how it's not that simple and there are many variables involved. So here's my summary of 17 of those variables to consider.

It's creating a lot more artificial wealth. And then the pigs wonder why there is still inflation. So much for Donald #Trump bringing prices down. The only fair way to manage crypto is to pay the 99% a #BasicIncome so that we can live and not just survive. https://www.counterpunch.org/2025/07/24/how-stablecoins-are-reinventing-financial-hegemony/

@KatyElphinstone This is one of many reasons why #UBI (unconditional #BasicIncome) is so important. So women won't have to make such choices. In fact, #UBI was a development from the feminist #WagesForHousework concept.
