    As an fella from that country right beneath Canada, I hope something like this works, would love to watch our neighbors in the north do something awesome while we fail to do it for decades and decades.

      Your neighbors in the north have something like that already. Alaska redistributes income from oil companies to their people. IIRC it’s only ~150$ per month, but that’s pretty good nonetheless!

        $150 a month would cover several bills for us. Does each individual get it or is it per household? Because if it’s per individual (presuming adults only), that’s $300, which would cover some debt too. So yeah, pretty good!

      Yeah I would love to see them do it. I mean hopefully it works and we can use it as a reference. If it fails, well that’s their program.

      Unfortunately they will bungle this shit the same way the fucked up their healthcare and it will just be a disaster.
