Hawaii just became the first US state to pass a bill supporting basic income
It's kind of funny because I just read an article on Market Watch that said that the poor spend roughly 40% of their income on luxuries. Huh!
"I think it's pretty clear that we have the ability to reduce costs for everyone and keep people out of poverty and improve quality of life more cheaply than it would be to let our existing social safety net be overwhelmed by the changes we're seeing in our economy," Lee told Business Insider.
Then a was scanning the Interweb and spotted this article about Hawaii.
Growing homeless encampments prompt proposal for armed park rangers
Waikiki resident Jen Tema holds her breath as she jogs past the Diamond Head lookouts because most days the stench from the homeless encampments is overwhelming.
“We’re at the beginning of the toilet,” Tema said on a recent Friday as she passed by a garbage pile that spilled over the oceanside cliffs like a waterfall. “When it’s dead wind, you can barely walk by it. It’s a shame because this is one of the most beautiful places in the world.”
Well hopefully giving everyboby some money should workout well for Hawaii as it did for Venezuela...
