This is a fascinating thread about the idea of a universal basic income. There have been many experiments testing a UBI in the world and people keep debating it....but in countries with a state funded old age pension, we have a massive real time UBI experiment....in the case of Aotearoa NZ for 88 years. ....so what happens when people turn 65 and get a universal basic income.... We live our best lives! Including stacks of volunteering. #UBI #UniversalBasicIncome #Pension #UniversalPension #NZPol Edited for spelling https://petrous.vislae.town/@Binder/112832419782451606

@jeremy_pm @phil_stevens apparently it can get worse! Now we've seen competent leadership in a crisis, we can't unsee it. For goodness sake what a collection of mumpties....or is it lickspittles?

@hardaker@fosstodon.org Dear Wise Self, Great pictures!!

@isaacfreeman@cloudisland.nz This is very exciting!! It's tough for little NGOs to avoid paying billionaires!

@Happyfishmedia Also cf Scoundrel in Ōtautahi Christchurch

@NorcalGma2@sfba.social Glad to hear Summer's pal is in a better. 💚

@KiwiEV@mastodon.nz yes yes, this is far more achievable for AoNZ except for fertiliser, plastics and other products. Of course we should. Of course.

@wavygk@mastodon.nz nau mai haere mai!!

@mu@mastodon.nz LoL yes sadly!!

@Jerry Thank you!!!

@MichaelaKHulse Ataāhua! Magnificent gardening. I can report reduced vege buying and increased vege growing here...I hope to get there eventually! Kia manawanui!

Good report from Charlie Mitchell about the completely absurd NZ "remigration" movement.....led by the children of migrants to Aotearoa New Zealand. It's a white supremecist movement which ignores the fact that all "white" New Zealanders are migrants or descended from migrants. If they weren't verging on evil, it'd be hilarious.

@darkerknight@climatejustice.social Brilliant!! This is a wonderful thing.

@muddle@infosec.exchange @exador23@m.ai6yr.org @ai6yr@m.ai6yr.org @douglasvb@m.ai6yr.org Farmers in New Zealand report that regenerative farming produces the same or more produce at less cost.

@danimo@kolektiva.social @benroyce@mastodon.social It's so tragic that those who most need the policies of the left, are persuaded by the far right. I can think of lots of reasons these folks fall for this, but it doesn't reduce the tragedy.

@exador23@m.ai6yr.org @muddle@infosec.exchange @ai6yr@m.ai6yr.org @douglasvb@m.ai6yr.org You would love the tone of barely concealed wonderment when they're interviewed. It's rather sweet. No uplifting.

@ClareBear@mastodon.nz yeah good column. Good point but also pulling no punches.
