“Finland's Flirtation With “Free” Money For The Jobless To End (Universal Basic Income)”

For those old enough to remember, the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. was demanding the same thing in 1968 although then it was called a “guaranteed annual income.” A massive “Poor People's Campaign” was being planned for Washington D.C. at the time the civil rights leader died in Memphis.

The “Poor People's Campaign” was to feature a tent city in Washington with tens of thousands of demonstrators and continuous urban disruptions until demands were met.

Isn’t that today’s Los Angeles?
