“You are not answering my question, with respect.”
@vicderbyshire challenges newly elected Green Party leader @ZackPolanski on his plans to increase Government spending, who adds:
“We don't need to borrow, we don't need to tax and spend, we need to spend and tax.”

AMAZING result from a 10-year study: a one-time $1,000 cash transfer to households in rural Kenya cut infant mortality by 48%.
One of the biggest gains EVER seen in global health.

South Korea ramps up plans for a universal stimulus payment to 'the poor, the nearly poor, and people living in rural areas'
Could this be the first step on the road towards #BasicIncome for new Korean President (and former #UBI advocate) Lee Jae-myung

Consider: during a basic income pilot in Namibia, poaching in the area dropped 95%.
...pausing to let that stat sink in...
A vulnerable population is exploitable; an empowered one protects its land and resources from extraction.

What if financial security was the key to climate justice? In Tuvalu, our project #UC4CJ is piloting unconditional cash for #ClimateJustice. The concept is simple: give activists the financial security they need to sustain their work, no strings attached.
