I am a retired machine tool operator; now advocate for unconditional basic income as the most fundamental human right as proposed by Thomas Paine, Henry George, C H Douglas, Louis Kelso, James Albus and others.
How did you come across this network?
Heard about it at the London Global Table (meets, Wednesdays 12pm to 2pm at the School of Economic Science, London)
I agree that we must look for opportunities to do the seemingly impossible, to construct out of a changing system one that is much more in tune with the needs of people.
I came to the basic income guarantee idea via Silvio Gesell, monetary reformer in Germany about a century ago, and am a keen observer of the alt money movement. We aren't there yet, but many good people are working, figuring out how our economy should be arranged.
We are a team, then. Do you know others who are already convinced that UBI, MR, LVT? are a "good thing"? These are the difficult but fundamental areas to reform.
UBI - Universal Basic Income
MR - ?
LTV- ?
Anyway, to find who's who, try to make some posts in the discussion area here, perhaps someone makes a peep.
It is a bit difficult to use this platform, as there is little way of calling your actions to everyone else's attention. People become members here, but it is easy to forget to check back to see what's happening (or to originate something like a blog post or a forum entry), unless one keeps a permanent tab on things, through an RSS feed for instance...

You know what an RSS feed is, don't you?
