138 — Private UBI
To what extent is it possible to implement basic income independently from the government? What challenges and constraints might face such a system? Conrad Shaw joins us to discuss these questions as well as a new app he's working on called Comingle that hopes to achieve a privately-implemented basic income.
Conrad has been a UBI researcher since 2016. Before Comingle, he designed and implemented the UBI pilot program featured in Deia Schlosberg's forthcoming "Bootstraps" documentary series. He has also written extensively on the subject of UBI and built a "UBI calculator" tool that helps people compare different UBI proposals.
For reading this week, we have a recent Medium story by Conrad entitled "UBI in an App!" that describes the basics of how Comingle works.
Learn more about the Comingle project at comingle.us.
