...ein Kommentar von Scott Santens zu jüngst veröffentlichten Ergebnissen einer Studie, die medial wieder zum Abgesang auf das Grundeinkommen genutzt wurden, statt sie einer differenzierten Betrachtung zu unterziehen.
Feldexperimente bzw. Pilotprojekte werden notorisch überschätzt, siehe hier und hier.

I've spent years creating this thread in the hope it would be a long-term valuable resource. At this point it's 86 tweets long. Each tweet is about a different study that has something to teach us about what we can expect to happen when we all have unconditional basic income.

New blog post from me. I call this one the Toothpaste Argument for Basic Income in honor of Gotz Werner who inspired it. I included a link to a video at the bottom of it too that I also recommend watching.https://t.co/C4g0x9HZUH

"Is it most important to keep the supposedly undeserving from sneaking in? Or is the goal to ensure that as many people who are eligible get the benefits they deserve as soon as possible?"

Good summary of the problems with conditional benefits and why unconditional basic income is such an important improvement in this interview via @jacobin. This is a great link to bookmark and share with those on the left not on board yet with UBI.https://t.co/mHjJV75n0s pic.twitter.com/xtrwkaHHlW

This is also my biggest problem with a job guarantee without #UBI. You cannot guarantee someone a job and call them free so long as what they need to live remains conditionally withheld from them. https://t.co/CM6F7qwiZD

Would you describe Alaska as a socialist utopia? Because Alaska has had a UBI since 1982. Do you think their universal dividend has led to the enslavement and dependence of Alaskans? Would you also describe seniors receiving Soc Security in the same way?https://t.co/zCencM9e1M

...und, so könnte ergänzt werden, weil es Wertschöpfung höher bewertet als das Schaffen oder Erhalten von Arbeitsplätzen (siehe hier), das wäre eine ebenso wichtige Weichenstellung.

I did an interview with the Times of India recently about unconditional basic income and it was just published over the weekend. I cover UBI's history, key findings, why universality is a key feature, and how it functions like a vaccine via prevention.https://t.co/UsDZOlRI27

Unpaid care work is valuable work. Society should not only value it, but also empower people to do it. Unconditional basic income recognizes all unpaid work, whatever it is, and says "We hear you and we love you. Thank you." https://t.co/Cbv7WnwAra
The only reason the idea of UBI has ever been divisive is because some people believe that other people should be subordinate to them, and many people agree with them in hopes of gaining that power for themselves. UBI is freedom from domination, via unconditional power to say no. https://t.co/VrGP591wna pic.twitter.com/nNpP2uTXtg

...Questioning the strategy of non-universal cash grant pilot experiments", ein Beitrag von Scott Santens zum Stellenwert von Feldexperimenten. Santens weiß um die Begrenzung, um die begrenzte Aussagekraft, sieht jedoch eine strategische Seite daran, um Mitstreiter zu gewinnen. So kann man die Sache sehen und ihr etwas Positives abgewinnen. Man könnte sich aber auch fragen, ob das nicht eine zweifelhafte Strategie ist, denn Ergebnisse, die vorliegen, müssen noch bewertet werden und sie können gerade deshalb der Debatte zweifelhafte Dienste erweisen und sie schwächen. Warum nicht gleich die Sache direkt angehen, indem die Frage gestellt wird, welche Sozialstaat gewünscht ist, welcher der Demokratie angemessen wäre, welche Elemente eines solchen schon vorhanden sind und wie der vorhandene im Sinne der Demokratie weiterentwickelt werden kann? Das erfordert, Nebelkerzen beiseite zu räumen, die in der Debatte immer wieder geworfen werden, wie z.B. die Bruttokosten, der Nichtbrauchereinwand, der die Rechtsansprüche auf Freibeträge heute übersieht usw. Eine öffentliche Auseinandersetzung, damit sich ein Willensbildungsprozess entfalten kann, ist wichtiger als Feldexperimente.

Unconditional basic income is not solely an income boost equivalent to a simple raise. It's a structural change that removes barriers to other structural changes. It's a foundational floor for everything else we need to do. It's power. It's time. It's fuel for essential activism.— Scott Santens🧢🏄♂️ (@scottsantens) August 22, 2020
We aren't even halfway to our goal yet and we only have 10 hours left. We really need to step it up today. Whatever you can donate if even $5, please do. If you're new to the #YangGang and have yet to donate anything, now's the time. And yes, buying merch counts.
