My charity is to feed street kids with a meal over weekend in Arusha, Tanzania using an app (in smart phones) to food vendors who in turn give a meal to a street-child begger. Great idea you have. Thanks for sharing!

Universal Basic Income (UBI) is rooted in the principles of financial and economic justice, aiming to ensure everyone has a baseline level of financial security. From a scientific perspective, studies suggest that UBI can reduce poverty, improve mental health, and empower individuals to make long-term investments in education and entrepreneurship. Economically, UBI can stimulate local economies by increasing consumer spending and reducing the administrative costs of complex welfare programs. However, to achieve true economic justice, UBI must be accompanied by progressive taxation and policies that address structural inequalities, ensuring wealth redistribution benefits society as a whole. When designed thoughtfully, UBI is not just a safety net it's a step toward a fairer and more resilient economic system. #UBI #EconomicJustice #FinancialEquity

I love the idea of UBI I believe that the poor would use it to make their and their families lives better, but I am sorry to say we all know the rich will just use it to pay for accounts and lawyers to help them avoid loosing their extra income.
