Seven years ago today, @MerseyFabians held a discussion on UBI. Since then, it's an idea that has entered the mainstream. Along with a four-day working week, Land Value Tax, banning zero hours contracts & regulating the gig economy, these are policies that need taking seriously.

Brilliant ๐Ÿงต looking at the positive effects of the Southern Ontario #UniversalBasicIncome pilot and the transformation it made to the lives of those taking part. More #evidence that #UBIWorks!
#LetsTryUBI I recently read a report on the Southern Ontario #UniversalBasicIncome pilot. labourstudies.mcmaster.ca/doโ€ฆ Here's a thread with stories from participants. โ€œI slept like a baby, I was smiling and happy for once. I didnโ€™t look like I was about to cry because Iโ€™m broke.โ€
