UBI is genuinely the only path forward. A stronger social safety net bureaucracy political advocacy/candidacy usually comes with a warmongering priority above that.
UBI solves homelessness automatically for instance. Cities that have generous conditional programs for the homeless, create an incentive to become homeless, and invite people from rest of world to come to your city to enjoy the programs. Conditional programs add an expense/layer to police for the conditionality. They are divisive in that manufacturing anger against people receiving conditional aid is so exceptionally easy.
Billionaires don’t/won’t care. They aren’t one of us. They needed a reckoning before driving us into climate catastrophe, they see wealth inequity through a meritocracy lens. Fortunately I do too as they do zero for this planet. Workers unite. Let’s go for them now.
The field ain’t gonna reap itself!
The solution is to rebalance the wealth in one way or another. If only we had a clue.
France showed us the way. The problem is getting from the piles of heads to an ironclad constitution that doesn’t allow the slave industrialists from corrupting the process.
You’d have to convince the public to accept demographics that are unpopular, like sex offenders, furries and Juggalos. (We’re struggling with equality for blacks and women)
I still stand behind the idea of writing a constitution before the uprising, and include a proscription against the principle revolutionaries from governing.
The Constitution of the United States was built on the foundation of Enlightenment ideology of ending the aristocratic class. And it worked for a while.
Maybe we have to put more money into the elite’s hands, so the pressure for the trickle down showerhead increases?
Water with enough pressure can cut pretty anything 💦🔫
