Sounds like fake news. 12+ million bucks, would have to be a heck of a grant.
Prototype Communism bump for later...
All it will do is just raise the “welfare cliff” and increase the non-working adult population
Oh, boy! Beer money!
Tip money for a large segment of the population.
Please ping me when you post the article about them filing for bankruptcy in a few months.
Oh, boy!!! More cigarettes, booze, drugs and hooker money.
Me! Me! Pick me! I promise the local economy will profit from increased ammo sales.
Universal guaranteed income equals Guaranteed inflation and that usually equals lowered buying power for the wage earner.
So... Where can I buy stock in this company?
Sounds like a winner.

$1000 is better than $50.
$950 better.
I'd probably start eating nice steaks and prime rib more often.I might use more butter.I'd definitely use it to spend more time in areas where malaria and other nasty diseases are found.
I live in about the bluest state in the country which might make me a candidate.My current income and resources might rule me out as a candidate.But I could hide that...or try to.
Where do I apply?
Where do I sign up? I got 1x kid in college, 2x teenagers in sports, 1x 8 year old in a growth spurt. You would not believe my weekly grocery bill between those 4x food vacuums.

I was dealing with one of my low-end renters this week. The husband gave the rent money to the wife to deliver. It was $50 short. She has a drug problem. He seemed disappointed, but coughed up the additional money.
Last month when he delivered the rent she shouted from the car, “Don’t give it all to him!” He shouted back, “You stupid b@tch, do you want to be homeless?” If she had $1,000 she would probably end up dead. (Oh, they have two kids as well. That doesn’t seem to matter.)
You could give them $5,000 per month. I guarantee it would not improve their life one bit. Probably, it would get them in even more trouble. He has no driver’s license, due to multiple DUI’s. She is on probation for grand theft. They spend every penny they get. They have every cable channel and a house full of new furniture and TV’s. The air conditioner is set at 68 degrees.
I, on the other hand, own nine houses, have no TV or cable beyond internet. I am constantly fixing my own cars. If you gave me an additional $1,000, I’d put it in my 401k. I would probably never qualify for the gift and the people who would will probably be hurt by it.
It is impossible to TEST the “Guaranteed Universal Income” on 3,000 people. For the liberals, 3,000 is not all (universal = all).
It is not a TEST. To test it, you have to give the money to all. Duh!. Of course, the “test” will work! The recipients will ALL say that it was great, of course, and wish they had always had it, and thank the wonderful politicians, etc. No one will be asked how they felt about having their tax money given to 3,000 people, to prove that the 3,000 people will like getting it.
What a bunch of a$$HOLES.
Gee cutting taxes and rewarding work never occurs to these people.
