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

This is good, considering how badly us peasants have been SCREWED and ROBBED for generations by the corrupt system of thieves. The monthly payment we actually deserve is closer to $30,000 a month and for life.

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.”

Awesome. I'll take it.

The USA has enough natural resources to pay every citizen $250,000 a year.

UBI...UNIVERSAL BASIC INFLATION


The cost of everything you buy increases in direct proportion to the money supply, how do you people think we got where we are now? You're like dogs chasing your own tails.

$42K isn't wealthy anywhere in the US. $100K might not be either depending on where you live. When people say you need $125K/yr to live in places like LA, SF, and NYC they aren't lying.

I know it's hard to get that kind of financial perspective from a double wide in Kansas, though.

Anything the government can do for me to make my life easier and better, I'm all for. Why should I have to bust my butt to make a living? I've worked hard long enough and haven't gotten anywhere in life. A $500 a month boost for me and the same for my wife would be very welcome.

School paraprofessionals are way underpaid for what they do. In this case, she deserves the extra.

This is illegal and will lose in court if challenged

you cant just pick and choose 100 people to give money too. You have to give the money to all within certain criteria, or none at all.

A lot of states and cities are doing this where they are picking a couple people in each place to receive this money. it will be challenged in court in at least one of these areas and they will lose eventually once it works its way up the courts

No such thing as a free lunch... next reincarnation, try working SMARTER instead of HARDER, so you don't have to rely on some government handout to make ends meet. Nobody owesyou a thing.

some deserve more money, some don't.

sweet of you to speak up for this group, to which I once belonged.




No one, however, deserves the dependency and loss of production that UBI will bring.

as intended or unintended consequences.

The tools of the architects of the current construct believe that they can offer or accept socialistic aspects that are being given in order to essentially bribe off the population, while they finalize their capture of the world's resources and means of production, that they and their progeny will come out alright and intact. Some of these 21st century robber barons think that the communists will be allowed to keep their ill-gotten gains, while much of the public thinks that the communists will continue to feed them, once they have total dominion. Good luck with that. Both are in for huge betrayal.

They don't want to bribe you...they want to OWN YOU. by "giving you a month income, then you'll be beholden to the government...it's just another form of control. They pay your rent, insurance and food, then you won't mind them looking into your medical and personal records.. .all under the guise of "keeping costs down." Eating too many carbs or fat? Well, please report to our local Federal hospital for an "evaluation." ...and if you refuse, we'll turn of your "digital wallet."
