In case you wanted to look at the results of the #GiveDirectly #UniversalBasicIncome from 2023 study yourself:

"Early findings from the world’s largest #UBI study"

"Both a large lump sum and a long-term UBI proved highly effective. The lump sum enabled big investments and the guarantee of 12 years of UBI encouraged savings and risk-taking."

For everyone out there who asks: "But who is going to pay for UBI?"

#UBIWorks in Canada has done the maths and it shows exactly who is going to pay: not you!

It will be large corporations, the wealthiest of the wealthy and financial institutions.

Go Canada!

Universal Basic Income isn’t just about individuals - it’s about #communities

When people aren’t struggling to survive, they have time to #volunteer #create and #uplift those around them. They can be full time #parents or #students They are able to follow their interests and talents.

A world with #UBI is a world where #everyone benefits.

If you work full-time and still can’t afford basic needs like food, heating, rent; that’s not your fault.

The game is rigged in favour of #billionaires and #UBI is about leveling the playing field. Because no one should work endlessly just to stay #poor

#Fairness means #stability for all.

UBI means power to say no.

No to exploitative jobs. No to abusive relationships. No to situations that hurt you, just because you can’t afford to leave.

It gives you the ability to walk away - to build something better. And that’s real freedom.

Scarcity isn’t real - it’s manufactured.

There’s enough food, housing, and wealth to go around.

The problem isn’t a lack of resources, it’s a lack of will. UBI isn’t radical. Letting people starve in the richest societies in history is.

Billionaires want you to believe UBI is “too expensive.”

Meanwhile, they hoard trillions. They get tax breaks, loopholes, and bailouts - but when it comes to helping everyone, suddenly there’s “no money”?

There’s money. It’s just in the wrong hands.

UBI isn’t a cost - it’s an investment in everyone.

Let’s be clear: no one wants to “sit around and do nothing.” UBI doesn’t kill ambition - it frees it.

When people aren’t drowning in financial stress, they do more - start businesses, learn new skills, raise families, build communities. Maybe the real fear isn’t laziness - it’s that people will realize they deserve better.

We glorify “pulling yourself up by your bootstraps,” but the reality is: some people don’t even have boots.

UBI doesn’t replace hard work—it makes real opportunity possible.

How many Einsteins and Da Vincis are stuck in dead-end jobs just trying to pay rent? How much talent are we wasting?

Let’s give people a chance.
