Money can’t buy happiness…but #UBI buys breathing room!

What if we stopped tying survival to 40-hour grindfests?

#UniversalBasicIncome isn’t a magic wand—it’s a trampoline. Studies show cash with no strings = less stress, more art, weird small businesses, and happier humans. Turns out existential panic isn’t a great motivator!

Let’s build an economy where “thriving” isn’t a #luxury Who’s in?

(P.S. Skeptics welcome! But bring data, not doom.)

Here's an interesting, balanced article on #UBI coming out of Massachusetts, USA.

My main points of criticism are:
- It is based on short term pilot projects instead of an ongoing UBI
- It compares UBI to negative tax and similar proposals. This would require people to have well paying jobs to pay income tax
- A gradual change may not be enough for the upcoming job automation

Thoughts?

Let’s talk cost. Poverty is expensive. It leads to crime, poor health, and economic stagnation. We already spend trillions dealing with its consequences.

UBI attacks the root cause. It’s not a handout—it’s an investment. A society where people aren’t constantly in crisis is a productive society.

You deserve a UBI ❤️

“People will just stop working if they get free money!” No, they won’t.

Finland proved it. Namibia proved it. Every UBI trial shows the same thing: people don’t stop—they start. They start businesses, they start learning, they start caring for family, they start living instead of just surviving.

Let’s trust people. ❤️

People say, “Just work hard and you’ll succeed.” But what if you’re sick? Disabled? A caregiver? A stay home mum? What if wages are too low, rent is too high, and everything is stacked against you?

Hard work isn’t the problem - economic cruelty is. UBI doesn’t make people lazy. It makes life fairer.

No one should be punished for existing. ❤️
