Lessons from Trump's Re-Election and Potential Silver Linings | The Basic Income Show

Episode 7 of The Basic Income Show!

  / scottsantens  

In this episode of the Basic Income Show, we discuss the latest developments in basic income, reflect on recent events, and explore the systemic changes needed in society. We delve into the lessons learned from the recent election of Trump, and the silver linings that can emerge from challenging times. Our conversation also touches on the role of information ecosystems in politics, the ethics of universal basic income, and the potential for community building through initiatives like Comingle. We discuss the implications of Universal Basic Income (UBI) as a tool for simplifying government, the skepticism surrounding tech leaders' advocacy for UBI, and the potential political shifts that could arise from current populist movements. We explore the connections between tariffs, government inefficiency, and the need for universal policies, while also highlighting recent developments in international aid and evidence supporting UBI from various countries. Our discussion concludes with a hopeful message about unity and the importance of community engagement in challenging times.
