- A Seattle basic income pilot gave low-income residents $500 a month, nearly doubling employment rates.
- Some participants reported getting new housing, while others saw their employment incomes rise.
- Basic income pilots nationwide have seen noteworthy success, despite conservative opposition.
This is like saying “a triangle will never have 3 sides”.
UBI, UNIVERSAL Basic Income, goes to everyone by definition. If it doesn’t go to everyone, it’s not UBI, and shouldn’t be called such.
Then we’ll never be given UBI. You know… in the same way that we will never be given democracy despite everybody calling it “democracy.”
