BREAKING: Andrew Yang says we should stop taxing workers, and tax AI instead. That can fund UBI. "We should try to stop taxing labor."

Bloomberg covered Hong Kong's MTR, the most profitable subway on earth. Land value capture funds their metro and creates a net surplus, creating a virtuous cycle to build more. Should other countries be using this as a model? youtube.com/watch?v=3kGQ7gsr…

Being able to plan beyond the next payday should be ordinary. A guaranteed income would make that freedom less of a luxury.

Top Canadian economists agree: UBI works 👍 It can grow the economy more than it costs while enhancing the standard of living for ALL of us. Share if you believe it's time for basic income in Canada.

Sign of the times: newspapers are now running "worried about AI taking your job?" career guides.

Yukon MP and former Chief Medical Officer of Health presented a hand-signed petition on behalf of many Yukoners calling for a guaranteed basic income "aimed at reducing poverty and improving economic security across Canada".

Big thanks to the Yukon Anti-Poverty Coalition for bringing him the petition and asking him to table it. You can help too: download the petition from Coalition Canada Basic Income, get 30 handwritten signatures and ask your MP to present it in the House. The more the better!

a future where machines do more work and people own more of the wealth sounds pretty good, actually

A basic income should give people the freedom to care for someone, retrain or start a business without gambling the rent.

There are many paths to UBI. AI equity is probably one of the biggest.

funny how we worry basic income will make people stop working but never ask that about inheritance

"This story's exactly why we need a truly unconditional basic income, not welfare systems that trap and police. A free society trusts people to spend their money better than the government can."

Towards a future of amazing abundance. Where we no longer rival over the gifts of nature and technology, but share in its common wealth and enjoy its dividends together. Make it so.

I love the vision of AI and robots leading to abundance for humans. The question is how to get from here to there.

Canada already tested basic income. In the 1970s, Dauphin, Manitoba got a guaranteed income. People kept working, more teens finished high school, and hospital visits dropped. We have the evidence. What we need now is the political will.

I spoke with Reddit ex-CTO about AI and basic income. It's not so much mass job loss from AI I'm worried about, but millions of precarious and underemployed whose wages are competed away by software and robotics.
