UBI doesn’t fit the Overton window because the poverty industry is holding it shut. Turns out bureaucracy, stigma, and gatekeeping are a thriving business model. The change starts when we say the quiet part out loud. #UBI #universalbasicincome #PovertyIndustry

Wild that in 2025 we can get same-day delivery, AI therapy, and groceries via app… but giving people enough to live on every month? That’s “too complicated.” We’ve automated everything except empathy. #ubi #universalbasicincome

Imagine explaining to aliens that we invented machines to do most of the work… Then decided the humans should still work 40+ hours a week or else they don’t deserve food or housing. #ubi #universalbasicincome

Sometimes, just sometimes, I’ll be away with the fairies, deep in thought, and I’ll think “Whatever happened to {insert early-mid noughties band}?” Tis a cross to bear

UBI isn’t radical. Maybe what’s radical is expecting people to build lives, raise families, start businesses, and care for others… while broke, burnt out, and begging for support. We’ve normalised the absurd. UBI just makes it visible. #UnconditionalNotUnrealistic #BasicIncomeNow

Totally agree with Scott here. Most opposition to UBI comes from misunderstanding it. It’s not a handout—it’s a floor. A redesign of a system that punishes need instead of preventing it. Once that clicks, the debate looks very different.

PBO report found that a Guaranteed Basic Income can reduce poverty by 40% at just 5% of the cost of poverty. Hours worked would remain virtually unchanged. This saves lives and taxpayers money.
