I'm also in favour of a UBI, but I can never see a party that promises one getting voted in. The two main party leaders in NZ's recent election were asked if they'd consider it, and both said no. It's one of those policies that would never be voted in, but if it was implemented, it'd never be voted out.

My approach for deciding what a UBI should be is this...

Actually, a lower minimum wage linked to a UBI might get voted in. Businesses could see some benefit to it then.

I am loving that the Moderna vaccine development received funding from Dolly Parton.

(It is great news that we now have two promising vaccine candidates. But there are still hurdles to overcome before they are available to the public, and there are a lot of public.)

I have never voted Tory, but right now I would settle for a competent government of any flavour.

Oh yes. I would take John Major in an instant.

Very cool, if true
