Ontario anounced who is getting guaranteed basic income today.
17k a year for sitting on their azz. And ya just KNOW every low-life in the province will be pouring in there.
Its going to the city I got the hell away from 18 months ago. Good, that might drag some of the junkies and migrants out of here.
There is actually 3 cities, none within 150km of where my ass is parked which suits me fine.
Of course, that means ill be paying them 3 times what I do now to take drugs and make goatlets.
And, its a 3 year pilot project. So good luck getting a lick of ambition out of them for the next 3 years.
Brilliant, libs. Brilliant. (that was sarcasm for those that missed it)
Oh, and $17k? That works out to about the same as the after-tax take-home of somebody who works 40hrs a week for minimum wage. I see a WHOLE lot of minimum wage jobs opening up and going unfilled.
