Individuals who received the $1,000/mo or $500/mo payments were more likely to find a stable, full-time job than before they received the basic income. Results showed 45% of participants secured housing, while $589,214 was saved in public service costs. "It's freedom. It's freedom from poverty..."

Denver gave people experiencing homelessness $1,000 a month. A year later, nearly half of participants had housing.

Conservative types do not understand that evolution created care and empathy because it works, and it keeps all of us safer, better, and healthier for longer, as part of a community. Give people a route back to being part of the community and they take it.
