1. UBI como Solución Directa y Eficaz contra la Pobreza.
El consenso en el archivo es que el UBI es la forma más simple y directa de abolir la pobreza, proporcionando un piso económico garantizado que eleva a todas las familias por encima del umbral de la miseria.
- Universal basic income ubi the solution to poverty is to give people money. Its literally that simple.
- We must have ubi. Its the only thing that ends poverty.
- We could end poverty overnight if we chose to do so. Problem is, we dont choose to do so.
- Universal basic income would be a turning point for our country. It would heal so many wounds. Poverty is an all encompassing plague.
- The obvious solution is a universal basic income, well above the poverty line, for every single person.
2. La Rentabilidad del UBI vs. el Costo de la Pobreza.
Se argumenta que la pobreza es una carga económica masiva para la sociedad, generando costos billonarios en atención médica, crimen y administración. Implementar el UBI es visto como una inversión más barata y eficiente que gestionar las consecuencias de la pobreza.
- Poverty is expensive. We pay for it through er visits, evictions, crime, broken families and wasted potential. We spend billions managing poverty instead of ending it. Universal basic income flips the script, itd cheaper and smarter.
- Basic income will always be considerably cheaper than the cost of poverty. Poverty is a massive economic drain not only on the people who experience it, but on the communities that include those people.
- Ubi is cost effective and does not add a burden but mitigates issues caused by poverty that cost the country billions to support.
- When people ask how can we afford to eradicate poverty they probably arent aware that the uk govt already spends 100bn managing the effects of poverty illness, crime, poor educational attainment, reduced labour mobility and activity etc etc time to move to a ubi.
- Ubi will actually pay for itself by cutting the downstream costs of poverty, insecurity, and excess inequality.
3. Evidencia y Resultados de Programas Piloto.
Numerosos estudios y experimentos a pequeña y gran escala, incluyendo el Crédito Tributario por Hijos (CTC) expandido en EE. UU. y el dividendo de Alaska, demuestran que las transferencias de efectivo incondicionales reducen significativamente la pobreza, mejoran la salud y no desincentivan el trabajo.
- All, all, of the 100s of studies worldwide conclude that ubiworks. Every time. Higher employment, lower health risks, healthier children, exponentially lower govt admin costs, and a long, long etc.
- We cut child poverty by 40 in 2021 by giving 40 million families about 450 a month. It had no impact on inflation.
- In the dauphin experiment, eliminating poverty with basic income reduced emergency hospitalizations by 8.5. As one doctor described the finding, if this were something we could put in the water, we would.
- Ubi is proven to be an effective way to get people out of poverty and employed in experiment after experiment.
- The largest scale trial is the whole state of alaska that has had a basic income since 1982 it has slowly grown over that time to 10-15 of the poverty line and reduces child poverty by 20-50 with that and rural alaskan native poverty by 25.
4. Dignidad, Libertad y Obstáculos Políticos.
El UBI es visto como una herramienta para restaurar la dignidad humana y la libertad, permitiendo a los trabajadores rechazar salarios de pobreza. La principal barrera para su implementación no es económica, sino política, ya que la pobreza es utilizada como una herramienta de control social.
- Means-tested programs trap people in poverty. Universal basic income lets you earn more without losing your safety net. No cliffs. No punishment for getting better. Ubi.
- Poverty is a policy choice, not a moral failing.
- Ubi is about human dignity, not a strategy for crime prevention. People who believe poverty is a choice will never believe in giving money away.
- Poverty exists as a threat to get people to do things without their full consent.
- The reason we dont get ubi outside of experiments here or there is because they work so well. If they work well, then people are less poor. If people are less poor, those in power have less leverage to dangle poverty over our heads as a form of social control.
