Repeat after me - the institutions of this economy depend on the institutions of this democracy, among which is the rule of law

Have you never watched South Park: Bigger, Longer, and Uncut? We were always gonna go after Canadians, what with their beaty little eyes and floppy little heads.

Notre Dame study finds Rochester's guaranteed basic income program worked ROCHESTER, N.Y. — The city of Rochester announced that its Guaranteed Basic Income (GBI) program, which provided families with $500 a month for a year, was successful. The Wilson Sheehan Lab for Econo...

"One of the things people are commonly worried about with this kind of program is that when you give people cash they’re going to be less likely to go to work and be less productive members of society. And we didn’t actually find any evidence of that in our study."

Enough testing. Just do it. #UBI

April 2020: My Cook County colleagues and I propose a COVID emergency cash fund and are met with chuckles and eye rolls. After 6 months of pestering we get a small pot of money.

November 2025: Cook Co funds the first permanent guaranteed income program in the country.

Never, ever give up. Never.
