Stoke Dun, California, is amount to launch an experiment and no strings, guaranteed basic income of five dollars a month for its people to eliminate poverty. Supposedly. Now, they're going to start with a select group of residents early next year. Michael Tubbs, Stoke Dunes twenty seven year old mayor says that those who get the free money are going to be tracked and studied. He hopes that they'll collect enough data in a few years to figure out the income
floor that people deserve. The money is not coming from taxpayers yet. Yeah, the initial handout is from a group calling itself the Economic Security Project. Facebook co founder Chris Hughes also co founded this hair brain scheme. Now he hopes taxpayers will eventually pay five hundred dollars amount to every American earning under fifty thousand dollars a year so that they can have income security. Now, as you would predict, a bunch of Stoke Dun residents are drooling at the
idea to get free money. They're already sending letters and emails to the young mayor begging to make the list. Now, this is a special kind of stupid economic ignorance on steroids. It's not income security, it's job security. For liberals, playing Santa Claus with other people's money
