And my 500 character limit is annoying here.</p><p>UBI at the right level gives workers a choice where they want to work and what wages they will accept, and extends that to people being able to pick zero wage income and just volunteering or running small business that don't need to make a profit. In a strong sense, it creates the ultimate free market capitalism. </p><p><a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/BasicIncomeCanadaNetwork" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>BasicIncomeCanadaNetwork</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/BICN" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>BICN</span></a><br><a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/GuaranteedLivableIncome" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>GuaranteedLivableIncome</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/GLI" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>GLI</span></a><br><a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/UniversalBasicIncome" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>UniversalBasicIncome</span></a> <a href="https://mstdn.social/tags/UBI" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>UBI</span></a></p>

I hope that's at least Guaranteed *Livable* Income, but it's definitely a step backwards from Universal Basic Income. They've shifted because they think it will be easier to get politicians to accept GLI rather than UBI. </p><p>I think BICN is making a mistake. </p><p><a href="https://mastodon.sdf.org/tags/BasicIncomeCanadaNetwork" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>BasicIncomeCanadaNetwork</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.sdf.org/tags/BICN" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>BICN</span></a><br><a href="https://mastodon.sdf.org/tags/GuaranteedLivableIncome" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>GuaranteedLivableIncome</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.sdf.org/tags/GLI" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>GLI</span></a><br><a href="https://mastodon.sdf.org/tags/UniversalBasicIncome" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>UniversalBasicIncome</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.sdf.org/tags/UBI" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>UBI</span></a></p><p><span class="h-card"><a href="https://mstdn.ca/@HalifaxExaminer" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@<span>HalifaxExaminer</span></a></span></p>
