Pope Francis on Basic Income: »The UBI could reshape relations in the labor market, guaranteeing people the dignity of refusing employment terms that trap them in poverty. It would give people the basic security they need, remove the stigma of welfarism, and make it easier to move between jobs as technology-driven labor patterns increasingly demand. Policies like the UBI can also help free people to combine earning wages with giving time to the community. « -- Pope Francis in »Let us Dream« (2020) #eciubi2027 #basicincome #UBI #pope

Bertrand Russell on Basic Income: Russell, author of »Principia Mathematica« and a founder of analytic philosophy, was also in favor of a basic income. He writes: »Anarchism has the advantage as regards liberty, Socialism as regards the inducements to work. Can we not find a method of combining these two advantages? It seems to me that we can. [..] Stated in more familiar terms, the plan we are advocating amounts essentially to this: that a certain small income, sufficient for necessaries, should be secured to all, whether they work or not [..].« https://basic-income.eu #eciubi2027 #ubi #basicincome

Why aren't trade unions promoting the green transformation more? A trade union leader explains: »But you have to understand, the union also has members who work at the airline.« Now we have a problem: if many people's income depends on doing the jobs they already have, then transforming our society becomes difficult. Thus, it follows: Basic Income is a precondition for a social and ecological transformation of our society. #basicincome #ubi #eciubi2027

Good idea: Unconditional income to protect the amazon rainforest https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2026/oct/20/unconditional-basic-income-amazon-rainforest-peru-study A pioneering project to provide Indigenous people in the Peruvian Amazon with an unconditional basic income has contributed to the protection of the rainforest, according to a study. The analysis from the University of Bath is expected to contribute to a growing debate about the role of direct payments to communities that maintain globally important ecosystems.
