Let me tell you a story about buying goods from "Communist China."

When we first developed our prototype for our pillow, Mr. Pillow spent MONTHS trying to find a US mfg who would work with us. They would either laugh at him (via email) or never return his emails or phone calls in the first place.

If we weren't looking to give these outfits a $100,000+ order off the bat, they had no interest in us. (And keep in mind that TO THIS DAY we have 100% bootstrapped this thing. We have no investors. And no trust funds. BELIEVE THAT.)

The most effective thing we could do to support small businesses would be to introduce unconditional basic income. UBI would function as both venture capital for would-be entrepreneurs and consumer buying power for their customers.

This is also why over 100 CEOs in Canada have signed a letter urging the Ontario government to complete their #BasicIncome pilot experiment. UBI is good for business, especially small business.

Businesses need customers.

A common concern about UBI is how it would enable employers to pay less, but that would be a huge benefit to small family-owned businesses. Their workers could choose to accept less because they love working there, or to refuse to work unless they got more. #SmallBusinessSaturday
