Came across this old thread while cleaning up my subscriptions, and I thought during these times it's a good topic to bring up again.

There's been experiments with basic income in some cities like Stockton, CA. I saw a headline about it being "considered" in L.A., CA one of the costliest places to live.

COVID really exacerbated the gap between the haves and have nots.

Some people don't even qualify for unemployment or they do yet can't get any benefits. They make it cumbersome to even qualify. Same with any government benefit.

UBI may or may not work, but I think it should be considered on a federal level. It could make a difference between someone ending up on the street....or not.
