This plan is a great idea.

Harris County, home of Houston, is about to launch a guaranteed income program. Nearly 2,000 low-income residents will receive $500 a month for 18 months. If the pilot is a success, the program could expand. chron.com/news/houston-texas…

I support you for your vision & policies. I know you have supported UBI in the past but I was disappointed when earlier this year, you sort of backtracked. I sincerely hope that you will give full support for Universal Basic Income & raise more awareness

I've been researching the idea of Unconditional Basic Income since 2013. Here's a list of findings I've compiled from various UBI experiments, unconditional cash transfer studies, and cash dividend research. The data speaks for itself. Data: old.reddit.com/r/BasicIncome/wik… #basicincome

These bandage means-tested incrementalist "solutions" are a joke. They're divisive and give companies an excuse to pay their employees less. They do more harm than good in the long run. These are a step backwards from a job guarantee and universal healthcare.
