Episode 6 of The Basic Income Show! In this episode, Scott Santens, Conrad Shaw, and Josh Worth discuss recent developments in the world of Universal Basic Income (UBI). They celebrate ITSA Foundation's successful fundraising for key projects, explore the implications of Nobel Prize winners supporting UBI, and delve into the ongoing debate surrounding Oregon's proposed UBI measure. They discuss various aspects of Universal Basic Income (UBI), including public support, political influences, and recent developments in different regions. They explore the challenges of finding consensus on UBI, the impact of political decisions on public opinion, and the implications of recent polling data from the UK. The conversation also covers the cancellation of the Ontario basic income pilot, election strategies involving cash rebates, and the significance of attack ads in shaping perceptions. Additionally, they delve into the affordability of UBI, recent initiatives in Guyana, and Germany's upcoming UBI experiment. In this conversation, the speakers discuss the viability and implications of basic income, particularly in resource-poor areas. They explore the concept of money scarcity, the benefits of child allowances, and the Marica program in Brazil as a case study for local currency implementation. The conversation also addresses misconceptions about employment impacts of basic income, the empowerment it provides to workers, and the broader health and well-being benefits observed in UBI programs. New evidence from the Democratic Republic of the Congo further supports the positive socioeconomic changes associated with basic income. - Want more UBI data?
