@mollybroome_ @resfoundation 1. In a monetary system where all the land assets were claimed by others before you were born, you have no rights to access the natural resources you need to exist. Instead, to stay alive you need money from either - wealth (inherited or created) or income (exchanged for work)
@mollybroome_ @resfoundation 2. Some people grow up with the privilege of inherited wealth which gives them an income without work, as they earn interest on money, and dividends on stocks, and any kind of rent, and any amount of inheritance.
@mollybroome_ @resfoundation 3. Other people create wealth, through business, innovation or automation, and earn an income from the profits they make from the products they sell

Looking forward to what should be an interesting conversation on the impact #UniversalBasicIncome could have on how we may rethink the world of work - and, in particular, the work done by 🚺 #LondonMetResearch
Dr @JessieJWL opens her presentation nothing that #UBI is still very much a "hot topic" amongst policymakers, particularly on its effectiveness on improving women's working lives #LondonMetResearch
Bustillos defines #UBI as "a regular cash income paid to all on an individual basis, without means test or work recruitment". Also notes it has been called a "citizen's wage", "existence income" or "guaranteed universal subsidy" #LondonMetResearch
The Welsh Government has announced its pilot of Basic Income (notice they have dropped the "universal").
It is hard to know whether to be pleased or disappointed with this.
Let's take a look:

So shortly after the Senedd election the Welsh Government announced they would be conducting a pilot of UBI.
In principle this is very exciting. UBI has the potential to tackle some of the massive issues we face (and will soon face) in Wales and the wider UK.
In principle this is very exciting. UBI has the potential to tackle some of the massive issues we face (and will soon face) in Wales and the wider UK.
Essentially, the idea of UBI is that every adult in a country receives a set amount of money from the government, with no conditions attached, regardless of their individual resources.

This was what I worried would happen with @Booker4KY. Not be on the offensive with @RandPaul, who's an abysmal, but only on the defensive when need to. Just like the @KyDems always do, which is a losing strategy. But Booker's running on policies that are materially popular!!!
Here's a fun fact about running in an election... If you run as an Aggressive & Offensive Candidate with Policies that help the People & their Material Well-being, then you win.
Here's how I know; In the 2015 Midterms, @AlanGrayson of the @FlaDems, he won with no problem. He was unapologetic when being a "#Progressive", stands up with his Principles & goes for the Jugular in Political Ads at his Opponents on how their Policies are Wrong, Evil & Bad &...
I seriously can't stress enough that we need people into this Revolutionary Moment to help bring change! We have a #HealthcareCrisis, #ClimateCrisis/#ClimateEmergency, #EnvironmentalCrisis/#EcologicalCrisis/#BiodiversityCrisis, #HousingCrisis/#EvictionCrisis, #FoodInsecurity,...
#HomelessnessCrisis, #WealthInequality, #Corruption, #EnergyCrisis, everything collapsing in front of us as our Nation is a Feudal Society where people are left fighting for scraps as the #Rich/#Millionaire Class have accumulated most of the #Wealth as they have no #WealthTax!

He @Booker4KY, want any ammo to go after @RandPaul for stuff that's useless? Because this can help.
I mean from a Self-declared "#Libertarian", who seriously isn't he's #SocialConservative at best, it's not hard to dig up dirt on @RandPaul of his Voting Records. Like the 2016 Tax Bill that gave more money to the #Rich, Supports Banning #Abortion (which isn't Libertarian),...
Opposes #LGBTQIA Rights like Same Sex Marriage & wanted it to be banned, Rand is inconsistent on #MilitarySpending of sometimes leaning to not for it or for it in offensive wars (which many Libertarians call that out & believe in Defense of a Direct Threat of an Attack)...
