LA County Universal basic income Program Starts

[1srelluc]

- Los Angeles County's guaranteed basic income program is underway, with 1,000 residents now receiving $1,000 a month for the next three years, officials said Tuesday.

The recipients were chosen randomly from more than 180,000 people who applied for the program.

"Given the huge number of L.A. County residents who applied, it's abundantly clear that a guaranteed basic income is an idea whose time has come," Supervisor Sheila Kuehl said. "I'm confident that we will see what other pilots have already shown: that a guaranteed basic income, by giving people a bit of financial breathing room, allows them to stabilize their lives and that of their family.

"Three years from now, I feel confident that this L.A. County program will be seen as a foundation stone that led to expanded programs providing economic opportunity and stability to every eligible American household," Kuehl continued.

Chosen LA County residents will start getting $1,000 a month

Is California tying this in to the Federal COVID handout money? Does this mean that my Fed taxes are paying for Socialism in CA?

The upside..

When shit crashes in a biblical level of disaster, mayhem and woe, it won’t be hard to pin point the people responsible for the crash, as they are very public about it, gleefully posting about it, stating their positions loudly and proudly on social media as they support pedophiles, illegals, trannys, criminal behavior, corruption, doing press conferences bragging about their total shit program, project, pet law. Everyone will know who pushed for it, voted for it, passed laws allowing it happen, bad policies, wasteful spending, corruption, etc…. allowing unhappy citizens to go tell them in great detail how unhappy they are in regards to how their bad decisions destroyed their lives and kids futures, and turned America into Africa.

Biblical is a good word for it, maybe medieval, both words work well.

with 1,000 residents now receiving $1,000 a month

A million dollars a month. Where are they getting it? By taxing corporations which will raise the price of their products which the welfare queens will have to pay

Not to mention declaring that $1,000 a month and paying income taxes on it

KEEP VOTING DEMOCRAT!

Did they really do this? It's kind of an interesting concept. I'm 52. Let's say for whatever reason I can't or don't want to work anymore. I would still get my basic guaranteed income. It wouldn't be much but I could live on it.

The concept, also called universal basic income, is based on the premise that working people understand their own needs better than government officials or bureaucracies, and low-income earners should receive a simple monthly check that comes without stipulations or strings.

So if you work that's extra. You get your universal basic income check every month too. Everyone does.

This may be the solution when automation and outsourcing take all the jobs. Too many people not enough jobs. If you have a job you are lucky. You will have more than just the basics. So relax rich people. You'll still have more.

'It's Basic' Fights Back Against A Major Poverty Myth

The documentary shows how a guaranteed check can be a path out of poverty and why communities can’t bank on the idea alone.

Young people are more open to socialism because Capitalism sucks in their opinion. It's not enough for you to tell them it's the best when it sucks. Republicans have stripped the social safety nets and social programs that benefit We The People for tax cuts to millionaires and billionaires.

$1K/mo * 20 million Adult CA = $20B per month * 12 = $240B per year if STATE money.
$1K/mo * 150 million Adults = $150B per month * 12 = $1.8T per year if FEDERAL.

Money is not free and it does not grow on trees. Where do they get another $2T on top of $2T debt already going on the books. You folks is crazy.

How did the experiment work out?

Tubbs saw the impact of a guaranteed income firsthand while mayor of Stockton, California, where he piloted the Stockton Economic Empowerment Demonstration, or SEED, program in February 2019. For two years, 125 randomly selected low-income residents were given $500 a month without restrictions or work requirements.
Afterward, researchers saw participants’ full-time employment rates rise from 28% to 40%. They also found that 99% of funds were used on basic needs like food, clothes, utilities and auto care, and not vices like alcohol and tobacco, as opponents suggested.

I'm sure in order to achieve their goal we would have to do EVERYTHING much differently than we do now.

Every American would get a basic monthly check. Enough to live. People who work and corporations will make much more money than the basic. But the poorest will get what they need to live. Isn't that great? No one starves. And you and I will still work and make a shit load of money. That won't change.

If there aren't enough jobs because of lets say, automation. What do you want to do?

Remember everyone was out of work because of Covid and you all freaked out after 15 days of not getting a paycheck? You guys can't even go 1 month without a paycheck. If jobs go away, what you gonna do?

You should be embarrassed at what you post almost every time you his post reply. I am done with the clown show. I asked, where does the extra money come from. $2T/yr or $250B/yr//

It's like healthcare. We would have to stop doing what we do now, which is spend more than we have to. Turns out we spend more now than if we gave everyone universal healthcare.

So government is the referee. They set taxes and pass labor laws and minimum wages. Maybe they need to set a maximum wage and super size how much we tax guys at the top. How about that.

Trump doubled the number of companies who pay no taxes. Stop that.

rump doubled the number of companies who pay no taxes. Stop that.

always with the usual MSNBC BS. Just like the CARE4None but herself.

Lawyers and GOVT cost big money. They got deep into Healthcare. Insurance premiums are off the charts for Doctors offices. All DEM and many R Politicians are failed Lawyers. They kill countries. Do the MATH.

I'm sure free money won't be a cultural problem at all. I mean kids work too hard now days already. lol

Every cent of that will go for pot, crack, Colt Malt Liquor and cigarettes. Even the LA HOs will get a windfall out of it.

Cali is working hard to create the largest slum in any developed country. I think they will pull it off.

So government is the referee.

That should scare the crap out of you and be a show-stopper under just about any circumstance.

Look at the clown show you have now....and you want to put them in charge of health care ?

Are you stupid? In every country, the government is the referee. You want to remove the referee? How do you think that would work out for you?

Even if you are a small business owner. Monopoly would ruin you. And with no government there to regulate. Idiot.

Before calling anyone stupid or idiot, you might want to understand the difference between the government and the law.

Government passes laws

This is why Republicans/Corporations/You are so anti government

"You Can't Govern if You Don't Believe in Government"

In a May 25, 2001 interview, Grover Norquist told National Public Radio's Mara Liasson, "I don't want to abolish government. I simply want to reduce it to the size where I can drag it into the bathroom and drown it in the bathtub." Norquist got his wish.
