Really touching and eye-opening stories from Sam Altman-backed basic income pilot. Read this thread:
There's so much buzz around Sam Altman's basic income pilot, we often forget there are real humans behind the numbers. Stories of people escaping abuse, taking a risk for better jobs, building businesses, parents getting more time w/ kids. Here are their stories: 🧵

Canadian researchers gave thousands of dollars to homeless people. They ended up saving the government hundreds of thousands of dollars & significantly reducing homelessness. #BasicIncome works! https://t.co/1PS8qHvMGZ

“We couldn't have envisioned a more fitting partner than Endaoment, the world’s first onchain 501(c)(3), to realize our goal of “showing the world the good of Web3.” - @DWSimon, founder @Crypto_Altruism
Considering donating some of your 2023 crypto gains before year end? ❤️💸 Here's some inspiration from @endaomentdotorg CEO @RobbieHeeger 👇 "We talk a lot about touching grass, and I think in some ways donating to nonprofits using crypto is a way of touching grass"🌱😌

This image breaks me. At 2.7 degrees of warming, which is our present policy trajectory, two billion people will be exposed to extreme heat. 99.7% of those people live in the global South. People who have done nothing to cause this crisis. The injustice is staggering.

The Ontario government plans to waste eight billion taxpayer dollars on a redundant highway (413) that cuts through protected land. What else could that money buy? Services Ontarians actually need. Sign the petition to stop Highway 413: https://t.co/pFWUEGTnFK

No podcast has accompanied me more on my #web3 journey than @Crypto_Altruism. 🎧 Chatting with @DWSimon was a great pleasure. Favorite takeaway? If we really walk the web3 walk, we have the potential to create circular systems, as opposed to the "make-take-use-dispose" ones. 🌍

If Catholic schools can’t support safety and inclusion, they shouldn’t be publicly funded, writes @David_Moscrop #onpoli #onted

If a publicly funded school isn’t going to be inclusive of the public, it shouldn’t receive funding from tax revenues. Perhaps the catholic separate system ought to pay its own way.
Flying the Pride flag says to 2SLGBTQ+ students: you are welcome here. Everyone should feel safe at public schools. YCDSB has made a decision to leave room for homophobia and transphobia—it’s shameful and doesn’t represent the majority of people.
