Minneapolis has gone full communist: Guaranteed Basic Income

In a leftist shithole?




Not a snowball's chance in hell.

Who could live off 500 bucks a month?

Who could live off 500 bucks a month?

200 families x 500 month x 2 years = 2.4m dollars

3m set aside - 2.4m given out= 600k or 20% just to hand it out - doesn't seem too efficient

if it takes 1 person for every 10 families just to hand it out those 20 people will make 30k each while each family will only get 12k total - government at its finest

Can single white straight men also apply?

Wonderful now they'll have some money to buy the shit that they rob off of the trains from each other

"I'm mad they're doing this and aren't allocating our tax dollars to amazon, tesla and walmart."

No need to. Just open up a hair weave/tire rims super center.

"to address the city's intractable racial disparities"

I'm taking this to mean it will all go to poor black Muslims in the community because the refugees from Somalia (or wherever) aren't getting a large enough piece of the pie?

Minneapolis will soon support 200 families with its new guaranteed basic income pilot, an experiment in alleviating poverty by paying low-income households $500 per month for two years, no strings attached.



That could pay for a lot of moonshine and hookers!

Minneapolis will soon support 200 families with its new guaranteed basic income pilot, an experiment in alleviating poverty by paying low-income households $500 per month for two years, no strings attached.

The city has set aside $3 million of American Rescue Plan Act funds for the program. Households must earn less than 50% of area median income to be eligible. The program echoes a similar experiment that St. Paul launched in 2020 and dozens of other cities nationwide, whose leaders have made testing grounds to inform federal welfare policies.

Minneapolis wanted to try guaranteed basic income because federal COVID money offered an opportunity for something radically different to address the city's intractable racial disparities, said Erik Hansen, the city's Director of Economic Policy and Development.
