💷 Canada has shown that unconditional cash appears to reduce homelessness.
🏡 People spend the money on housing, clothing, food and transport - not drugs and alcohol.
@AndyBurnhamGM #GreaterManchester needs its own UBI pilot on #homelessness.

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.

.@AndyBurnhamGM talking about the possibility of a UBI pilot in Manchester organised by different local groups at our event a couple of days ago:
'I would ask this lab of ours to devise one and put one to me' 👀.
We are certainly very keen to follow that up!

Brilliant 🧵 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!

I recently read a report on the Southern Ontario #UniversalBasicIncome pilot. labourstudies.mcmaster.ca/do…
Here's a thread with stories from participants.
“I slept like a baby, I was smiling and happy for once. I didn’t look like I was about to cry because I’m broke.”
How do we pay for a #BasicIncome?
Read this Conversation with @Geoff_Crocker that lays out the arguments for using debt-free sovereign money.
What do you think?
