Ubi - Tumblr Posts
My least favorite things about anti- UBI discourse is always the techbros whining that "nobody is going to work anymore! People will just watch Netflix all day!" and I have 2 responses:
1) Who the fuck cares. Who the fuck cares what people do with their time! That's kind of the fucking point!
2) People aren't going to stop laboring. Housework (look, it's right there in the word!) will still need to be done. So will maintenance on our homes and personal spaces. Children will still need carers, as will the elderly and disabled. There are millions of examples of ~work~ that we do all the time, uncompensated, that won't suddenly stop because we aren't forced to sell our labor to provide corporation's profits.
I'm not surprised that what is traditionally women's work is invisible to these dipshits, but it never fails to anger me.
Anyway. Join the IWW.

If you’re not an EU citizen or can’t sign please pass the info to EVERYONE you know, so they can help spread it!
(That means reblogging this, not just liking it … )
If the EU manages to get this implemented, it could really improve quality of life for everyone not just those living in the EU.
If this get’s of the ground no western governemnt has an excuse to not at least try the UBI!
“So what we do is bring reality closer to UBI and bridge that gap. Start off with, say, universal food security. Everyone gets a food card that they can buy a certain money amount of food with. No strings.“
Let's have the conversation about UBI.
Let the actual data and facts end the bad faith arguments.
