By Gisele Huff and Andy Stern Workers need a Universal Basic Income -- and an angry middle-class just might deliver it Thousands of auto workers for the three-largest U.S. carmakers walked off the job last week because their pay has only increased fractionally in the wake of the auto companies' soaring profits. Meanwhile, the advent of streaming content -- coupled with AI and its impact on the creative class -- has spurred Hollywood writers and actors to remain on strike for months now.

UBI is Social Security for the 21st century. Andrew Yang's plan would help Americans.
“Universal basic income” provides a floor under which no one can fall. It is not a handout to poor people, or to those who barely eke out a living, but a share in the prosperity this country has achieved by dint of the contributions of a vast majority of the people.

Project-Based Learning Needs More Learning
After almost eighteen years in the field of education, I have become convinced of the need to transform the way our children learn so that they can confront the unknowable challenges of the twenty-first century. I applaud any effort aimed at changing the mindset of those involved in the education system so that they can leave behind the traditional twentieth-century paradigm, which was (and in most places still is) an industrial model.
