A Universal Basic Income (UBI) would ensure no one is left behind after the pandemic. Millions are not getting the support they need. A guaranteed minimum income for everyone would ensure a strong economic recovery and a fairer society. Food banks aren’t the answer, we need UBI.

Not gonna claim this is a #UBI, but could still be a valuable example on how multiple social problems could be solved through #DirectCashTransfers– a #pilot study apparently to the tune of $24million #LA #SoCal #Basicincome #Californiahttps://t.co/bo2PApCmIw

Economics Professor Wayne Lewchuk on Universal Basic Income
Universal Basic Income: @McMasterU Economics Professor Wayne Lewchuk says over the past 30-40 years the labour market has become less stable for workers.
He say #UBI wouldn’t just help those in poverty, but would benefit the bottom 1/2 of the population. @McMasterSocSci pic.twitter.com/w5HpINJUSS

Unconditional Basic Income „functions like a vaccine“ says Scott Santens
I did an interview with the Times of India recently about unconditional basic income and it was just published over the weekend. I cover UBI’s history, key findings, why universality is a key feature, and how it functions like a vaccine via prevention.https://t.co/UsDZOlRI27

Why not Universal Basic Income without limitation?
Close schools. National lockdown. Universal Basic Income until the virus is in retreat. Massive subsidies and stakes to keep business afloat. National mobilisation to stop NHS being overwhelmed – sounds radical now. Won’t by mid-Jan.

Mason hatte schon im vergangenen Sommer in einem Beitrag für den New Statesman in diese Richtung argumentiert:
„As I argued in Postcapitalism: A Guide to Our Future, UBI is not the panacea that its most ardent activists believe it is. It should be conceived not as an anti-crisis measure, nor as a substitute benefit system, but as a one-time and temporary measure to promote the rapid automation of society, and the reduction of necessary work time.“
