40 Chicago will spend $32 million on the nation’s largest test of universal basic income. What happens after that year is one question, as is whether handing out cash will truly fix anything.

Must be using the money from the unvaxed cops they fired.
Pittsburgh is doing this same crap with the Covid money they received, but it is limited to basically black women receiving it.
Crime goes through the roof as more people have more shit worth stealing.
And more money to buy more weapons to commit more crime.
Trying to reach critical mass.
As if someone could actually live on $500 a month.
They are already at junk status and soon to be default so this what's another 32 million before default. Lucky for the bondholders
So they are going for broke then eh? As if Chicago didnt have one of the highest costs of living of anywhere in the nation already.
It will fix nothing and make everything worse.
yes, I find it odd "Lightfoot is using roughly $32 million from temporary federal COVID-19 relief grants- on this." That's tax payors money. Does this mean the ChYna flu is over in ChiRaq?
And good luck getting people to work
