So-called "universal incomes" don't work, and we have not one, but two countries which have now tried it and abandoned it. Probably the best line in the whole story was this:

"the program was “clearly not the answer for Ontario families,” but she didn’t provide data backing the decision to end it."

It was that bad, huh?

    It works great. Retired UAW workers, retired federal employees, retired teachers are living proof. And there was no great recession in the Washington DC area, or in Ohio's state capital of Columbus. Never mind Detroit, Cleveland, Baltimore, Oakland, etc.
