#basicincome

Scott Santens<p>Our theory of change at ITSA Foundation is experiential. It's experiencing unconditional basic income, both vicariously and directly, that will get people to understand just how important UBI is, how much power and freedom it offers to us all, and how much good it will do for society. <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/basicincome" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>basicincome</span></a> <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/UBI" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>UBI</span></a> </p><p><a href="https://youtube.com/shorts/9ML833wKDt0?si=WYWGrbfXs8Gu6SI7" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">youtube.com/shorts/9ML833wKDt0</span><span class="invisible">?si=WYWGrbfXs8Gu6SI7</span></a></p>

Scott Santens<p>People are always wondering about how universal basic income might lead to a lack of purpose. Meanwhile, all around us, people are always trying to mean something to others. UBI will aid the pursuit of purpose. It will empower us all in our pursuit of figuring out what we're here to do. <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/basicincome" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>basicincome</span></a> <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/ubi" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>ubi</span></a> </p><p><a href="https://youtube.com/shorts/WN8uJAt3xC8?si=7E1yPhRdg1OgLwkm" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">youtube.com/shorts/WN8uJAt3xC8</span><span class="invisible">?si=7E1yPhRdg1OgLwkm</span></a></p>

Scott Santens<p>I'd say the most common response to universal basic income is some variant of "it will just increase prices!" In response, I frequently find myself explaining how it's not that simple and there are many variables involved. So here's my summary of 17 of those variables to consider.</p><p><a href="https://www.scottsantens.com/17-key-variables-that-determine-ubis-inflationary-impact/" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">scottsantens.com/17-key-variab</span><span class="invisible">les-that-determine-ubis-inflationary-impact/</span></a> <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/BasicIncome" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>BasicIncome</span></a> <a href="https://hachyderm.io/tags/UBI" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>UBI</span></a></p>
