Exactly!

Interesante artículo de Molly Kinder en #Substack sobre "los reemplazados por la IA"
Algo que me sorprende, y muy #marxista por mi parte, es que diga que, si ponemos ingreso bšsico universal, la gente no querría trabajar como limpiador, policía o enfermero
Es esto así? A mi, por ejemplo, m…

Now run the UBI thought experiment against this picture. If you cut everyone a check large enough to replace a displaced consultant or software engineer’s six-figure income, why does anyone show up to clean hospital floors, build your house, police your streets, or care for elderly people in a nursing home? You’ve created a labor market with no equilibrium. Either the check is too small to actually replace lost income, in which case the political fury of the displaced is undiminished, or the ch…

Kathy Hochul:

After Blakeman called New York parents who need universal child care “𝗹𝗮𝘇𝘆 𝗮𝘀𝘀[𝗲𝘀]”...
After Trump threatened me by saying “𝗬𝗼𝘂 𝗯𝗲𝘁𝘁𝗲𝗿 𝘄𝗮𝘁𝗰𝗵 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿𝘀𝗲𝗹𝗳 𝗞𝗮𝘁𝗵𝘆”...
After Vance flew into New York to 𝗿𝗮𝗹𝗹𝘆 𝘀𝘂𝗽𝗽𝗼𝗿𝘁 for his MAGA buddies like Blakeman…

Private member's bills rarely if ever turn into law, but I am proud that my MP is bringing this forward. We need to take the stigma out of Mental Health and drug addictions treatment and this is one way to help.
"The bill, The Mental Health Parity Act, proposes that mental health, addictions, and substance use services into Canada’s universal, public health care system. It would introduce framework for the federal government to partner with provinces and territories to provide public coverage, and is modelled after the Canada Health Act. It will also include provisions to promote public accountability to reduce regional disparities in coverage.”
