Basic Income Protests & General Strikes.

We need massive UBI protests at MP's offices all around the country. I truly believe this is how real change starts. A coordinated, organized effort to change the political will (directed at those in power....MP's, ministers) in order to expedite a UBI bill, & eventually into law, otherwise we're just running in circles wishing & hoping in our own little comfort zone echo chambers for something that is otherwise impossible. Surround the halls of power !!!

I think the sad reality is that converting from CERB to UBI was really our only shot. UBI isn't going to come in unless and until unemployment and poverty/homelessness reach eye-watering levels, and it literally starts becoming a matter of politicians' personal safety to institute it. And when they do, it'll be like welfare and disability: it'll be a fuck-you level of low money.

I don't like that's the way it is. But it seems clear that's how it is.

Politicians and our corporate owners should fear for their safety like they did in the 1940's.
