The Romans tried this with the Visigoths. IT did not end well.

Getting paid for not working? Getting paid more for not shooting anyone? Jeez, maybe I should pay money to morons who are blasting noise out of their radios in cars that the rims are more than the value of the car they have them on...

Where did he get it, from the back of a matchbook cover? Or from a diploma mill?

"...I bet I am #1 in a liberals mind as being most likely to shoot someone."

They know you already did & are waiting for proof as soon as they nail that slippery Trump.

Didn’t Sweden or some other lib country over there try this and it proved a failure?

Another reason to start the wall on the eastern border of CA.

Well, a thousand bucks is a start. But, the lucky recipients will want it bumped up right quick, after they blow the grand on hos and blow.

So, this is a classic basis for a perverse incentives program. The worse you appear to act, the more money you’ll get.

Another thought—with criminal recidivism so high, shouldn’t major violent criminals finishing their jail terms get a hefty stipend as well?

Threatening crime pays.

This program is called Advance Peace, and it's modeled after a crime reduction program in the Bay Area city of Richmond.

The table shows that the overall Richmond, CA crime rate is 45% higher than the California average and is 53% higher than the national average. Looking at violent crime specifically, Richmond, CA has a violent crime rate that is 106% higher than the California average and 138% higher than the national average.

The overall crime rate in Richmond is 53% higher than the national average.

For every 100,000 people, there are 11.87 daily crimes that occur in Richmond.

Richmond is safer than 6% of the cities in the United States.

In Richmond you have a 1 in 24 chance of becoming a victim of any crime.

The number of total year over year crimes in Richmond has increased by 3%.

The beauty of being a leftist is that you're always the smartest, and you are the only one who is capable of making bad ideas work, no matter how many times the bad idea has failed in the past.

Finland recently discontinued their own failed basic income trial.

But of course, this 28 year old Stockton resident is smarter than all the Finland socialists combined.
