It's venture capital for ordinary people.

Pete Wilson 🙊🕎 @Paddy_JBrown Belfast City Council Alliance Party Naomi Long MLA Alliance Youth UBI Lab Network 🌍🌎🌏 Chris Lyttle Basic Income NI Precisely the point of the motion, Pete. If we’d UBI before COVID many of the excluded would have had something to rely upon and businesses would have had support without having to jump through hoops for grants

The 21st century will be marked by an extraordinary conflict between the assumptions of neoclassical economists and the empirical realities of the physical sciences.
