Universal basic income seems to improve employment and well-being
By Donna Lu

Having worked at the big companies, like #Amazon and #Google (so glad to be done with them), this is something I've heard, seen, and felt.
If companies can dole out bonuses to themselves, they definitely can pay us more. #Capitalism is hurting working people, but we hold the power & fill their pockets ✊🏼 #UniteAndFightBack #GeneralStrike

A reddit post that says, "My wife has cancer, it took 5 months to wipe out 20 years of life savings and that was with insurance. The experience has turned me into a hateful, bitter person. We did everything we were told. We went to college, got degrees, avoided credit card debt, spent wisely, saved a nice chunk of money in savings accounts and retirement accounts and minded our own business. The USA healthcare system took all of our savings and retirement and forced us to refinance our house so that we lost 15 years of equity. This is a country I'm supposed to be proud of? I hate this system and anyone that defends it." This post is from a person called "binkybrain."

An image of a capitalist pig looking at a full boat of migrants trying to immigrate to America. The capitalist pig says to them, "We need to worry about our own homeless. We can't take any more people."

Below, the same capitalist pig is looking at a bunch of homeless people sleeping on a dirty floor. The capitalist pig says to them, "Get a job, you lazy fucks!"

#capitalism #anticapitalism #communism #socialism #competition

The words "Competition in theory" above two muscular men wearing top hats. One of them says, "I produce higher quality goods than you for the same price." The other man responds by saying, "Then I have no choice but to increase the quality of my goods."

Below this image are the words "Competition in practice" above the images of two pigs dressed in old-fashioned suits and top hats. One of the pigs says, "See these identical cartons of milk? There used to be 1 liter, but now there is 0.9 liters for the same price." The other pig responds by saying, "Then I'm going to dillute my milk with water."

Wealth isn't a sign of a virtue and poverty isn't a moral failing.

If you live in America, print out copies of this image and give them out to people in your community, put them up on street poles, and leave them in places for people to take. The time for the working class of America to organize is now!
