"It doesn’t need to be this way. People shouldn’t have to literally sell their blood to make ends meet. That’s the idea behind Guaranteed Minimum Income (GMI) — ensuring we all have that little bit of extra cash to tide us over in times of need."

@codinghorror @gknauss A noble cause. I think https://comingle.us is worth a try, too.
@firepoet @gknauss I don't care for making regular folks pay to fix a problem that we, the rich, created. We broke it, we bought it.. literally. I suggest we take some responsibility, and I'll go first. https://blog.codinghorror.com/launching-the-rural-guaranteed-minimum-income-initiative/

If UBI/GMI is at the cost of living, congratulations, you’ve just eliminated poverty. It’s that simple for me.
Anything up to that reduces poverty.
You can also potentially remove all other cash based benefit systems.
@codinghorror the 'bare minimum as standard' way of thinking is all kinds of levels of bullshit.
@codinghorror is there any difference between GMI and UBI or it’s in name only?
@codinghorror @kurdiumov while i like both ideas. i prefer UBI. since that way you reduce the ability for people to complain about it being welfare for lazy people.
@simoncropp @kurdiumov so you are for giving money to the rich? Why? Don't they have enough already? See also https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QPKKQnijnsM
@simoncropp @kurdiumov but as a rich person, I agree, give me more
