Again, it's been a pretty eventful week - on Friday, I spoke at a UN event practioner-scholar event about evidence gaps in conflict research, and then spent this weekend in SF at Progress 2024.
Fascinating study on taxation and the situation impacting so many Americans now. This is why poor people stay poor no matter how many minimum wages jobs they have. A perfect example for the implementation of UBI. This would level the playing field where everyone starts with the same resources and advances based on actual labor input not if you get married or live in a certain state, not if your male or female, kids or no kids, old or young. We should all be-able to start life with the same basic American standards of living such as shelter, food, medical care and education and then be taxed accordingly on your assent to a more generous lifestyle based on your own labor inputs.
