"For years, I opposed Universal Basic Income, firmly and reflexively.

"That position no longer survives contact with reality.

"The most dangerous response is to pretend this is a liberal argument, detached from objective reality. It is not. The social consequences of mass displacement... spread. They destabilize everything conservatives claim to want to conserve."

Universal Basic Income (UBI) is no longer a liberal fantasy, but a necessity to prevent social fracture and buy time as AI continues to replace jobs faster than institutions can adapt.

Hey, folks. I hate doing this, but my family and I need help with money for food & gas. This is unfortunately going to be a regular request until I can get a new job. (See my pinned posts for my resume.)

We average about $35/day for food (2 adults, 2 kids) and $10/day for gas, if we are being cheap. Dog food is $22/week. So we need around $335-$340 to make it through the week, making sure everyone is fed and gets to school. Any help, however small, is deeply appreciated.

Please boost for reach! And remember, you can unboost and boost again to keep it visible.

Week of Dec 11:
Progress: $1232.85/$340

*** OMG, y'all, thank you all soooo much for all your help! We can ge the car insurance & reg covered (~$300), pay several bills (water ~$130, elect ~$170), and even eat on this for a while, too. ***

The challenge of food ecomodernism: a puzzle outlined

Ah well, the urgency of staving off as best I can the disaster capitalism that Philip Loring mentions keeps me going, even if it feels like a dispiriting and unequal battle sometimes. Cheers!

Five years ago I had a particuarly vivid dream: I was at a fair ordering food from a food truck. There was something on the menu called “Pear Surprise”. I don’t remember what it was, but it was so surprising, it woke me up!

There has been much speculation over the years in my family about what a Pear Surprise might be. Is it full of pears when you don’t expect it? Does it actually not contain pears at all? NO ONE KNOWS!!!

So Kid 2 made me a Pear Surprise for Christmas! I am surprised.

A slice of cake topped with sliced almonds is placed on a gray plate. A fork is resting beside the cake on the plate. There are sliced pears on the bottom. The background features a wooden table surface.
