It’s almost like…giving people enough to money to live instead of survive…is good

jenroses

Imagine how much better those numbers would be if people had faith that basic income would continue and was available to everyone, everywhere.

drtanner-dickery

The reason all of these things happen is, simply, because people are no longer held over a barrel by the threat of starvation and homelessness. They can afford to choose a job that they like and find fulfilling, or focus on developing their skills or educating themselves so that they can go into the fields they find genuinely interesting, instead of scrabbling to get whatever job - and whatever income - they can find and cling to it, white-knuckled, for fear of losing it all and becoming destitute at the drop of some rich fucker’s hat.

These people are living for themselves, rather than pissing their lives away to line the pockets of their bosses.

jenniferrpovey

He missed one:

Road accidents go down.

Seriously, in one experiment, basic income reduced the number of car accidents. There’s no indication as to exactly why, but my personal assumption is people who are less stressed by money drive better.

Also, the same experiment showed no decrease in employment except for high school students (who concentrated on their studies) and those in the third trimester of pregnancy or within six months of giving birth (who were able to concentrate on their offspring).

Don’t let the right wing hijack this concept. They’re trying.

gay-jesus-probably

I don’t think the reduced car accidents are specifically because of less money stress. Instead, I’d guess that it’s just a result of people taking less risks on their commute to work, because being late can’t ruin them anymore. If you’re late for work, you might lose your job, and for people living paycheck to paycheck… sudden unemployment will probably kill them. So if they’re late, and driving safely won’t get them to work in time, driving like a lunatic is genuinely the safer option for them.

But with universal basic income, losing a job isn’t devastating, so people aren’t forced to gamble their lives to try and get to work on time. So they’re not crashing, and they’re not being a hazard to other people on the road, which means everyone’s commute is a lot safer and less accidents are happening.

anarmyofawesome

also people aren’t sleep-deprived from working multiple jobs. we all know sleeplessness kills.

spacecripple

There’s some other reasons university basic income might reduce car accidents from a mechanic’s point of view. People with better financial security can afford to better maintain their vehicles avoiding say brake or tyre issues becoming critical whilst driving.

Recipients may also be able to own or finance newer vehicles less likely to have an accident causing failure in the first place.

avoskorm

Also people on UBI may not need to drive to work at all. Fewer cars on the road = fewer accidents.

elidyce

IIRC, another segment of of people who stop working under GBI are people over 60 - old people are able to retire without suffering hardship.

prismatic-bell

I don’t see this mentioned, but:

When I finally got my eyes tested, I was at 20/70 vision for my far sight. My night vision was all but gone. To put that in perspective. If I was standing at my front door, and my neighbors across the street had a HAPPY BIRTHDAY banner hanging across their garage, I would have had to squint to read it.

I was still driving. I couldn’t afford not to. And I couldn’t afford glasses. I didn’t LIKE that I was driving that way, I was well aware it was unsafe for me and the people around me, but I had no choice.

I don’t know if eye exams are covered by universal healthcare, but if not: don’t underestimate the power of the very basic act of BEING ABLE TO SEE THE FUCKING ROAD.

I’m so much more productive after the sun goes down. While the sun is up I feel the weight of having to do things and it just overwhelms me.

But when the sun has gone to bed suddenly my time is my own. I can do with it what I will and oftentimes that means the cleaning I’ve been meaning to do, the projects I’ve been putting off. They suddenly don’t seem overwhelming to me.

I like it when the sun goes down.

I’m sorry but this is genuinely the nicest thing anyone’s ever said to me.

feltguy

had a dream last night that my alarm was connected to twitter and everytime i hit snooze it publicly tweeted it with a disparaging little message along the lines of “filthy horrible boy has slapped the screen again, and slumbers on” so that your followers could shame you and i was deeply, DEEPLY humiliated but that did not stop me from hitting snooze upwards of 14 times

slytherverse

hey op! i couldnt sleep until i built this! you motherfucker!

just gotta “borrow” my sister’s alarm clock

get that twitter api, write the bot in some python bc god is dead n slap together some fuckin UI with legos

your idiot self wants to sleep in???? hit that snooze button a couple times???? (maybe 4 times in a row)?? disgusting.

twitter knows! bc it posts how many times youve hit it. fuck you

the next step is NOT profit. noone profits. everybody loses. go home.

OH MY GOD?????????

Using a Witch’s Flying Ointment

Join me as I test an authentic flying ointment, made with traditional ingredients including mandrake, henbane, belladonna, and datura. We’ll also talk about the historic precedent for using “drugs” (i.e. intoxicants) in religious and magical ritual.

This flying ointment is 100% legal where I live. I purchased it online, and it was shipped to me through the US Postal Service. By showcasing its use in this video, I am NOT advocating the use of illegal drugs in your spiritual practice.

Also worth considering: if you're not pro-murdering babies, then you should definitely be pro-choice, because historically mass baby-murder is exactly what has happened in times and places where abortion was not easily accessible.

Seriously, the 'exposure' of unwanted babies (aka: leaving them to the wolves) was a common and accepted practice in many ancient cultures. Parents assuaged their guilt by telling themselves that the gods would save the baby if it was meant to live.

In the Victorian era, 'baby farmers' were paid to take the babies away. They promised to send them to good homes, but in reality usually killed them through neglect (or in some cases just straight up murdered them).

In the mid-20th century, unwed mothers would often be sent to church run 'mother and baby homes' where they would often experience emotional abuse throughout their pregnancy, before being sent home directly after giving birth. The babies would supposedly be put up for adoption, but in 2017 excavation around a former Home uncovered several hundred baby skeletons buried in the grounds (including shoved in the septic tank) thought to be victims of neglect.

Like, even if you don't give a shit about women— and you should— you need to understand that there was never any mythical pre-abortion past in which every woman with an unwanted pregnancy just said "oh well" and settled down with the father to form a bog-standard nuclear family. (Nor has there ever been a society in which the threat of pregnancy caused everyone to just never have sex, ever, unless they were fully prepared to procreate.)

Banning safe, medical abortion just means opening the doors to back-alley kitchen table abortions and higher infant mortality rates, because even if they're not actively being murdered, unwanted babies are less likely to be well cared for and therefore more likely to die from illness or neglect.
