What we need is a reorientation of power, not a left-flavored form of charity. There& #39;s a reason Jeff Bezos support UBI, and it& #39;s not because he is into equality and democracy. https://twitter.com/Ilhan/status/1254414294902595586">https://twitter.com/Ilhan/sta...

During a crisis sure provide subsidies. But long-term a UBI for workers is bad, it& #39;ll be super easy to use it as a coercive force. Far better to create unions, coops, local stores, and open competitive markets so people have the power to protect themselves.

Just an fyi, Alaska& #39;s universal basic income fund excludes convicted felons. That should give lefties a hint that placing income dependency on the state enables the state to exclude people based on political choices. If you think the UBI will be a strike fund, well, that& #39;s cute.

A government that will not allow people to form unions is a government that will exclude striking people from getting access to a "universal" basic income as long as they are on strike. How is this not obvious?
