Universal basic income provides an opportunity for people to pursue fulfilling work and to spend more time and energy doing things to improve their lives, their communities, and the world. As more and more jobs are lost to technology and AI, we need a serious solution that will strengthen the economy and help people take steps to improve their lives and do work they love. UBI is a humanizing social safety net that doesn't depend on government paternalism or devolve into "workfare." It gives people the freedom and opportunity to pursue the life they want and to thrive in ways they choose for themselves. It also allows more time and energy to focus on solving local and global problems by removing the burden of working long hours at dehumanizing jobs for low pay in order to survive. UBI empowers people to better their own lives and to help improve the lives of others.
