Let’s be honest: jobs don’t define us. Our #value isn’t tied to #productivity

#UBI isn’t about replacing #work — it’s about replacing fear. Fear of hunger, eviction, medical debt.

When people are #secure they #create #innovate and #thrive

A #BetterWorld isn’t just possible — it’s necessary.

This world is so beautiful
but
we humans are often not

We live in a world
that is boundlessly beautiful
but also
boundlessly unjust

Even twenty years ago
I couldn't get used to it
and even now
it makes me incredibly angry
but also speechless
how much worse it has become

Jacque Fresco - The Goal

Studies show that monetary incentives do not always improve performance, and can frequently decrease results. Incentives are often due to the beliefs that people hold, sometimes even putting their own lives at risk for them. Clearly, this outweighs the motivation of a monetary reward. Doing what people believe is “good” is a powerful reinforcer.

In a world that's becoming increasingly hostile, when you notice something nice about someone, tell them, let them know. With just a kind word or gesture, you can make that person's day better.

There's so much going on in the world; you kind words can make a difference!

One example: @remahformoreton.bsky.social who wants to tax billionaires and create a fairer society for all

Why do so many people still believe everything the super-rich say?

Especially when they say they know how the “normal” and “economically weak” are doing?

This expression alone....
Normal people?
Economically weak?

Oh....
Go fuck yourselves

Sorry, couldn't help myself...little shitposting

The beauty
it comes from everywhere

Beauty
can be found everywhere

We capture
and see it should

We should pass it on
and feel the beauty

So that all the ugliness of this world
does not gain the upper hand

I adore this man. I'm amazed at his dedication. 158 hours and 48 minutes to raise a million.

This was the moment. And this humility and gratitude is why he's easily my fave person on the internet by a long stretch.

I'm crying happy tears that he pulled this together and so many folks came together to make the goal possible.

Again today a teen contacted us after being cited by law enforcement while biking. We love working with youth. And our fav #BicyclingMonterey projects have embraced all ages, e.g., #Intergenerational Rides https://bikemonterey.org/new-ground-for-bike-week-1st-intergenerational-ride.html and so many more.

That was on our mind when we read:

“'There are whole industries where older people are uncommon,’ he added, pointing to #advertising, #entertainment and #technology. 'Most people’s #networks consist only of people 10 yrs #older or 10 yrs #younger than they are.’
…
“#Generativity refers to...'a developmental need older people experience, assisting younger generations to create a #BetterWorld that they themselves won’t live to see.
…
"'It’s only been 150 yrs or so since people went to anyone other than the oldest person in a community for #advice about finding a mate or what crops to plant in a drought. It’s a dangerous experiment to have a society in which that doesn’t happen.’” https://www.nytimes.com/2024/02/18/health/intergenerational-programs-older-younger.html

“#Employers are operating with no consequence”: #Wagetheft was also a problem in the #healthcare industry ($28.4 million); #construction ($27.6 million); #janitorial services and #retail stores ($5.9 million each); and supermarkets and convenience stores ($5.8 million).

That amounts to the annual output of Singapore, Switzerland and Syria combined. all the #militaries in the world combined are estimated to be responsible for 5.5% of global #greenhousegas #emissions, ranked fourth after India and ahead of Russia.
