You Bee is live.

AI is reshaping the workforce faster than any of us expected. Jobs are being displaced at scale, and the existing safety nets weren't built for this moment.

You Bee was.

❣️Currency is to the game of capitalist greed, as water is to life. This is why the greedy are against all citizens having basic equal Liberty of access sustaining #UBI for life. The currency system as enacted, enforces monetary power over the many being held by a greedy few. Game over! #UBI is due❣️🕊️

As is evident, we need:
#taxtherich #UBI #universalhealthcare #dem-soc

More & more, the #Epsteinclass make the case themselves
for #wealthconfiscation. As you get mad, think about it.
Don't mistake Mom & Pop economics with robber baron capitalism. Pay off the national debt, fund #UBI #UHC, etc.

Wow, this is almost sounding like a path to #UBI!

#UBI will take down the Epstein class faster than the justice system.

So politicians are talking about the #EpsteinFiles, which kinda proves it's a dead end.

None of them are talking about #UBI because it could literally bankrupt a few billionaires just by discussing the possibility.

Stocks are speculative and would decline just from widespread rumors of UBI.

I wish we talked about #UBI as much as we talk about the #EpsteinFiles

Honestly UBI might be a quicker way to destroy billionaires than relying on the "justice system."

#UBI will destroy huge conglomerates through multiple market levers and this is why billionaire donors won't let candidates discuss it.

UBI is the equivalent of a Guillotine for corporations.

It would literally bankrupt the most exploitive companies almost immediately.

If unemployment is the cure for inflation, who pays the price? In recent weeks, economists have argued that a certain level unemployment is a necessary condition for the economy to function. They have argued that the Reserve Bank of Australia may need to raise in...

If the economy needs some people to be unemployed, then we need a better economy.

In the 1980s, I worked in Australia's Commonwealth Employment Service. I came to the conclusion that, with few exceptions, people want to feel that they're contributing to their community. The “Dole Bludger” is mythical.

Totalitarian Capitalism does not serve the nation well. Australia is rich enough to afford every resident the necessities of life and opportunities to do something that's meaningful to them.
“They felt a higher degree of trust in their own future but also in their fellow citizens and public institutions.”
…
“… how can global capital maintain its momentum if the workers with bad jobs in bad places are given the chance to plan for a better future?”
…
“People want to work. And that includes work that’s not itemised or valued by capital.”

Image Description: A split illustration divided by a jagged lightning bolt. Left side: a solarpunk neighborhood in warm golden light. A young woman sits relaxed on a wooden bench reading a book, unhurried. Behind her: organic curved buildings with living green roofs, wildflowers, solar panels and wind turbines integrated into the architecture. A cargo bike stands nearby, people chat casually in a community garden. Watercolor style, warm greens, terracotta and amber tones.

Context: Right side: a cold, grey urban plaza surrounded by sterile glass towers. Three figures in hoodies hunch over laptops, isolated and tense. Delivery drones fly overhead. No human connection, no greenery. Cool blue-grey watercolor tones.

The jagged split between the two worlds represents the choice humanity faces: a future shaped by redistribution and technological progress as a collective gain — or a ghost economy where AI creates growth that never reaches people. The accompanying paper argues for a global machine tax financing an Unconditional Basic Income as the systemic bridge between these two worlds.

Ghost GDP: AI creates growth that never reaches people. Machines produce, but don't consume, don't pay taxes, don't stabilize societies. Our new working paper argues for a machine tax + UBI as systemic response. More see ALT text.

NB Their *income* (or revenue) not their earnings. Profit/loss are accounting affectations that entities manipulate for advantage.

The #IPRRT must be just another non-negotiable cost input.

With the #AI techbros stealing our creative output & then locking it behind paywalls to become the wealthiest oligarchs in human history, it’s only fair they fund the #UBI through something like an intellectual rent resources tax. Say, 85% of their income looks fair.

Image Description: A ghost-like human figure composed of fragmented dollar bills and data fragments stands in an empty office, dissolving into the air. The left half of the image is rendered in warm copper and terracotta tones with candlestick charts on the wall; the right half shifts to cool blue-grey with the same motif. The floor shows a geometric chessboard pattern. Two empty desks and office chairs flank the figure — the office is abandoned.

Context: This image illustrates the concept of "Ghost GDP": economic output that appears in national accounts but never circulates through real people. The accompanying paper analyzes how AI simultaneously displaces physical and cognitive labor, breaks the consumption cycle, and produces statistical growth without purchasing power. It connects this structural rupture to the post-growth debate and argues — through the perspectives of Trump, Xi, Merz, BRICS, and institutional investors — that a global machine tax financing an Unconditional Basic Income (UBI) is the only systemic response. The window for action is still open. But it is closing.

We can never have #UBI, until we get rid of the uniparty clowns who have squandering our recourves, giving it away tax free.
Where is our Sovereign wealth fund?

They can't even do simple stuff like roll back #CGT #NG to make homes affordable to young people

Ireland's basic income for artists changed my life. Other people deserve the same luck | Caelainn Hogan A pilot scheme offering some artists €300-plus a week for three years is being made permanent. But should something so fundamental be run like a lottery, asks writer Caelainn Hogan

We NEED #UBI in this country. Seriously, Dems, you should run on it…but I know the vast majority of you you won’t. ¬.¬
