Christmas - On giving birth in a stable, a tent, under rubble, in poverty.

All the 'advice' given to mothers and not a word about how about we pay all mothers a good Universal Basic Income, and make mothering the safest, most comfortable, nurturing time possible for both of the parents and their family and for the baby growing within the mother, or how about we eradicate poverty and warfare and misogyny and domestic abuse, and pollution - all of which are totally avoidable behaviours - just to make that critically important time for every new human, a safe space for all humanity... prevention of avoidable harm being the better part of any healthy society.

This issue is probably the one I am most deeply and eternally outraged about..... of all things, to undermine mothering/fathering and community and the psychological and physiological health of our species is an insult to evolution.

There are a number of potentially positive impacts associated with a UBI. 
A universal, unconditional payment could eliminate the stigma associated with welfare receipt. If replacing existing welfare payments, a UBI would also involve lower transaction costs, both on the recipient (in terms of the application procedure) and on Government (in terms of administering the payment). 
Universal, unconditional payments would also avoid situations where people choose not to work in order to retain means-tested benefits. 
UBI could give individuals the freedom to turn down or leave insecure, exploitative or low-paid work in pursuit of better or improved work opportunities. 
In addition, it would mean that persons in informal and often unpaid work, such as childcare and eldercare, which is mostly done by women, receive some compensation for their labour. 
Empirical results from several pilot studies have found evidence of positive health impacts following the implementation of a UBI.
