    The Billionaire-Fueled Lobbying Group Behind the State Bills to Ban Basic Income Experiments

    The Billionaire-Fueled Lobbying Group Behind the State Bills to Ban Basic Income Experiments

    Much discussion has been had around basic income as a policy response to automation and as a result, over 150 pilot experiments have been launched in cities across the US to study it. Now in response to the successful results beginning to come out from those pilots, some states are beginning to ban the experiments from happening. One lobbying group in particular is behind these efforts to stop UBI, and its biggest funder is a billionaire most people have never even heard of.

    Chat about UBI and Comingle with co-founders Conrad Shaw and Josh Worth

    Chat about UBI and Comingle with co-founders Conrad Shaw and Josh Worth

    This discussion took place in a Twitter (X) Space on September 6, 2023. I was joined by the co-founders of Comingle - Conrad Shaw and Josh Worth - to discuss the project and universal basic income in general.

    Comingle is an app being developed to create a small basic income floor for all members. All members will pledge an equal percentage of their income and in return all receive an equal basic income floor of around $50 a week.

    Help crowdfund Comingle's development: https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/comingle

    Visit Comingle's website: https://www.comingle.us/

    ChatGPT Has Already Decreased My Income Security, and Likely Yours Too
