Pretty amazing that MLK talked about UBI over 50 years ago.
Today is the International Day for the Eradication of Poverty. Lifting everyone out of poverty with UBI + UBS is the morally right thing to do, but it's also economic good sense. It is very costly to let poverty exist. The wealthy are willing to let us all pay those costs and use poverty as a stick.

dems would be well served by ditching the ambiguous "affordability" platitudes and just hammering these clowns on corruption, all day every day. That's what they did to Orban in Hungary
A bit technical for some, but the Groundbreaker article gets to the financial heart of the AI boom: it is a balloon, and in the next two years, it is going to pop.
“We have spent the last 18 years describing the financial crisis as .. a black swan .. .. It was none of those things.” It was “the scheduled mathematical consequence of loans that assumed perpetual appreciation. .. The AI boom has rebuilt this exact structure.” www.groundbrkr.com/p/the-teaser...

I don’t agree with all Abdul El-Sayed’s views, but GOP “othering” is a disgrace. He was born in US, educated at Bloomfield Hills Andover, where he captained football team; Univ of Mich; Oxford as a Rhodes Scholar; Columbia, where he earned an MD. Debate his views, not whether he’s a “real” American.
