This might be true in the US, where both political parties are right-wing and flaunt "socialist" as a curse-word every day.
I think BI is something that cant and shouldnt happen country-wide one day to the other. Cities should start doing it first. Cities like.. SF? which have a ridicolous surplus of money the city squanders, while still having a lower class without medical care.
- sliverstorm 13y agoSF already tried giving homeless people a stipend.
- boomlinde 13y agoWhich has what to do with basic income?
- sliverstorm 13y agoLike a limited-scope version of it
- boomlinde 13y agoHow so? I can't see any less superficial connection than that they are both about giving away money.
- sliverstorm 13y agoSo you view a program that gives away money to some people and a program that gives away money to all people, as so completely unrelated as to be utterly incomparable?
- boomlinde 13y agoNot utterly incomparable, but you seemed dismissive of implementing a BI program in SF on the basis of another social program, seemingly without regard to what is different about it.
