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>

RIVM<p>Het aantal deelnemers dat startte met de Gecombineerde Leefstijlinterventie (GLI) is in een jaar tijd meer dan verdubbeld. Landelijk zijn inmiddels 82.000 mensen met de GLI gestart. </p><p>De meeste deelnemers boeken resultaat, blijkt uit ons jaarrapport. Zo valt 4 op de 5 mensen af of hun lichaamsgewicht neemt niet verder toe.
