St. Louis guaranteed income program boosted financial stability https://www.futurity.org/st-louis-guaranteed-basic-income-program-3313892/
Across the study period, families reported fewer missed rent and utility payments and reduced food insecurity. Many used the monthly payments to meet essential household needs, manage unexpected expenses, and begin building emergency savings—something most participants lacked before the program began.
Who will feed your children when all the adults loose their jobs? The government? Where will the government get their money from once there aren't enough workers to be taxed?
I wonder how it will play out. I for one want to see a #UniversalBasicIncome so that we can all survive and re-adjust to the future of work or lack thereof.
What do you want to see in the future?

At times, I feel like hiding from what's going on in the world right now.
Then, I come across good news like this from Canada:
"The Canada #UniversalBasicIncome Pilot 2026 aims to explore the real-world impact of a #GuaranteedIncome on financial security, employment patterns, and overall quality of life."
Is the pilot perfect? Maybe not.
But it's a step in the right direction. 🙂

[Mayor] "Baraka’s report shows programs aren’t about job security but about giving people room to improve. Recipient Jennymarie Idrobo [...] says the funds helped her replace her boiler and pay down some student debt."
The rich already have a #GuaranteedIncome from inherited #wealth. They don't worry about their boiler or student debt.
So why not expand #UBI to all of us?

Wikipedia: In his Utopia, English statesman and philosopher Thomas More depicts a society in which every person receives a #GuaranteedIncome
"No penalty on earth will stop people from stealing, if it's their only way of getting food"
"instead of inflicting these horrible punishments, it would be far more to the point to provide everyone with some means of livelihood, so that nobody's under the frightful necessity of becoming first a thief, then a corpse."
@HalifaxExaminer I really wish that the media wouldn't fall for what seems to be right wing idealogical push to stop people talking about #UBI and instead shift to talking about #GuaranteedIncome.
One of them changes #society and (ironically) provides the ultimate free market capitalism when it comes to employment, which the billionaire oligarchs dread. The other is just yet another crutch to try and temporarily fix society whilst not actually changing anything except for the #poverty level.

How guaranteed income affects low-income households https://www.futurity.org/guaranteed-income-low-income-households3260642-2/
The study finds a significant improvement in perceptions of housing security driven by a reduced fear of eviction, but no overall effects on psychological or financial well-being.
🥳 Great data: UBI works 🥳
"A monthly UBI made people in poverty more productive, not less"

A #guaranteedincome rally took place in #Denver, #Colorado 🇺🇸, saying:
"We are disheartened that guaranteed income was excluded from the mayor's initial 2025 budget proposal. We urge our partners and City Council to strongly advocate for its inclusion and push for the necessary changes.
This rally is about more than funding—it’s about building momentum for guaranteed income as a proven solution for homelessness, poverty, and inequality."
