      Well the interesting thing about this article is that it’s about a pair of bills, one in the HoC and one in the Senate, to implement a program rather than a study.

      There’s a difference between pilot programmes and full implementations

      People can’t afford things as is and companies raised their prices just because so imagine how they’d feel with the excuse of UBI

      The flip side is they raise prices anyway so you might as well have UBI
