Leaving millions to suffer for the existential fear of accidentally helping someone not fully deserving (based on their own arbitrary values) is a feature, not a bug of conservatism.
Unless a starving child dies on your own doorstep, they are probably faking for a handout and need to work harder at not starving.
San Francisco is funding this and a few other experimental UBI programs on a very small scale. To anyone who is outraged at lacking the qualifications necessary to be considered for these programs or who is outraged on principle that marginalized and dangerously impoverished groups are being targeted for economic assistance, I strongly suggest you not move to San Francisco.
Oops, I got that partially wrong. The host of the program, the Lyon-Martin Community Health Service, is funded by donations. The actual stipend offered to the 55 recipients of the exploratory pilot program, designed to assess fiscal impact, is jointly covered by the County and the City. My bad.
You do have the distinction of being the first person in the 27 years I have been participating in this site to suggest that I was lying about something. So, good job there.
Tom Fitton does not agree. To quote him: āThese disturbing new documents confirm how, among other leftist extremist policies, San Francisco is abusing tax dollars to give cash to individuals based on race and transgender quotas.ā
Why donāt they just go get a job since the old demented sock puppet has ācreated so many?ā
Republican presidential candidate Nikki Haley said late Sunday that, if elected to the White House, she would pardon former President Trump if heās convicted of a federal crime.
Asked the question directly by an audience member at a Fox News town hall in South Carolina, where she once served as governor, Haley said a pardon would be in the countryās ābest interestā so Americans can work to āleave the negativity behindā without being further divided.
I would argue that Trump in jail is leaving the negativity behind. Behind bars. A pardoned Trump is going to be a beast unleashed and Haley is a fool if she thinks he wouldnāt come for her.
Trump has just $33 million on hand, and that is all being spent on lawyers. You can see how it is being projected that his campaign will be broke by the summer.
