Another successful basic income project!

"The Denver Basic Income Project gave over 800 unhoused Coloradans up to $12,000 over the past year with no strings attached. 12 months later, with a funding proposal up for renewal, CNN’s Meena Duerson examines the pilot’s impact and what may happen to the participants if funding runs out."

 

Another success!  People don't want to be poor. Many are poor just because they are barely under what they need to survive in our society.  A little nudge makes a huge difference in most cases.
