Well It's Here Folks ...UBI...UNIVERSAL BASIC INCOME!

So at people making $47,000 a year going to have to provide that extra $6,000 for those people? Or where is that money coming from?

There is no such thing as something for nothing. Anyone who believes a government handout is to help them is delusional.

Socialism works great until you run out of other people's money.

You said that, not me. They get paid well for the 180 days school is in session. Many make $60K so if they worked a full year they'd be making $120K. Doesn't sound too bad to me.

that amount of money is not enough for someone unemployed. I see she is employed.

will she be smart and save it all?

doubt it - she will not be farther ahead in a year, yet she is okay now.


People like this woman are supposed to seem like nice regular normal people to us, who deserve a boost.


the bigger picture is ignored.

Well do something about it hero! Start up your own occupy movement, that ought to make things right!...

What teachers make 60K? Maybe in California or New York.

They barely make minimum wage in most southern states.

even at $35k they are doing well for not teaching a damn thing.

These are averages too. You don't start out making this kind of money in teaching.

Most make around 35K

I am not the one CRYING about it. YOU are the one crying! LOL.

You are the one crying here about the "Poors" (poor folks) having a tiny sliver of the wealth which typically is passed around like pennies to the super wealthy. The super wealthy who have obtained every damn bit of wealth, yet you are a "crusader" here to stop the Poors from having a tiny sliver of it when the Poors are the ones who actually WORK and pay the god damn TAXES. Have you seen the latest findings where the most wealthy paid ZERO to 0.98% of the income in taxes? We Poors making $40,000 a year (not BILLIONS) pay 28%.

Ah, but thats all fine with you!. Cant let them Poors get any of that money!!

Move out of the Styx, sweetheart.

even at $35k they are doing well for not teaching a damn thing.

Right, so if they actually worked a full year, they'd be starting at $70K/yr. Sounds pretty fucking good to me.

I love having the government feed, cloth, and house me!

I don't have to think or decide who to vote for.

It's like the luxurious life of a beef cow!

I wonder what the payoff is?

Right? These people teach the same crap to kids for 30 years. None of the skills are special. Everyone who graduated from an American school should be able to teach a grade school class.

Well, that's another subject. However, they babysit peoples little rugrats for 9 months of the year. Find a babysitter to work for that price.

I'd sink it into gold crypto beans and guns each month

If you don't like the job, choose another career. So tired of whiney teachers who want everyone to feel sorry for them. You guys are as bad as the pigs with the thin blue line crap. You chose this profession.

Annette Steele isn’t destitute or unemployed. But for a year she’ll be receiving $500 per month in no-strings-attached payments as part of an experimental universal basic income program in upstate New York.

Places from Compton, California, to Richmond, Virginia, are trying out guaranteed income programs, which gained more attention after the pandemic idled millions of workers.

Steele, a special education school aide, is getting her payments through a program in Ulster County, which covers parts of the Catskill Mountains and the Hudson River Valley.

During the pilot program, funded by private donations, 100 county residents making less than $46,900 annually will get $500 a month for a year. The income threshold was based on 80% of the county’s average median income, meaning it includes both the poor and a slice of the middle class — people who face financial stress but might not ordinarily qualify for government aid based on income.

For researchers, the pilot could give them a fuller picture of what happens when a range of people are sent payments that guarantee a basic living.

For Steele, 57, it’s a welcome financial boost that helped her pay for car insurance and groceries.

“It lessens my bills,” said Steele, who lives in the village of Ellenville with her retired husband. “People think because you’ve been working so many years, that you make this tremendous amount of money. But no, actually.”

They’ll start at $500 then get to $1000, $2500 and $25000 quick. Why? Because they’re intentionally destroying the US dollar and it’s about to become worthless. Anyone with a brain knows that UBI just doesn’t work.

Then when the dollar crashes they’ll introduce the Fed’s new digital currency, make all transactions digital, make owning metals or crypto illegal, then offer UBI to all in exchange for no property ownership.

People, it’s all right out in the open. I’m hearing it from people at the highest levels. It’s coming quick. The dollar will be dead by Christmas and UBI for renouncing ownership will be by 2023.
