Rochester basic universal income program deemed a success

[Saltwater60]

Wow you’re kidding me. Giving people $500/month helped them out. I’m shocked and so glad Notre Dame studied this to tell me that.
I wonder what the next steps are and whose money they will steal to implement it.

I would like to see the actual proof of how successful the recipients have become.
Otherwise this press release is akin to "4 out of 5 dentists".

From Big league Politics website:

"This pilot program will be funded with $2.2 million of the American Rescue Plan Act funds that were allocated to the city of Rochester."

Supposedly pot sales revenue, were to fund this insanity, but Biden stepped up.

Fucking Biden gave away OUR money, to the BLM faction in Rochester and a LOT MORE than this pittance, if the facts are uncovered.

I wonder how much of the free money was spend on tattoos, scratch offs, drugs and alcohol? Will the next study be evualating the people that now have a $500 shortfall in their monthy income and how their new spending habits will put them in a worse place then they started?

Has anyone figured out where the solve all UBI funding comes from? Oh yeah, the taxpayers that they are giving it to.

Pot funds? Pot makes no money honestly.

Legalization of marijuana has been a giant scam from the get go. The government got its paws on it and turned what should have been a money printing industry into a disaster. It's obvious that a feel-good bleeding heart leftist decided that businesses licenses should be first granted to those with marijuana convictions in the name of "restorative justice." Who cares if the pot heads have no real business experience.

The illegal marijuana trade is more lucrative because it's cheaper than the government sanctioned one. Way to go NYS. Another win for the masses.

Bulk prices have plummeted with legalization. Its difficult to compete even with a superior product when the market is flooded. The only person making money is the one selling an end product, legal or off the books.

The added people and costs to the government along with other issues this creates have nullified any revenue stream as well. They are now raided illegal grows where they never did before too.

I went to a brothel once in Mexico/

From the looks of the place, they were very profitable.

If they really wanted to track what the money was spent on it would have been distributed via debit card, but if they did do that the program wouldn't be a "success".

Guy I was working for took me to a strip club in Monterrey Mexico. $1 to get in, $1 for the best seats, $1 a beer. I was a little surprised when I found out its perfectly acceptable to touch the dancers and was more surprised when halfway through the night they turned on the house lights paraded them out on the stage and one by one patrons took them upstairs.

They don’t want to know. They want to be able to call and survey them and tailor the Q&A TK for their needs.
I was called and surveyed about the all electric transition. I could tell the girl asking me the questions was frustrated. I told her I didn’t support the problem and when she asked why I responded with a few things. She then came back and said what if I told you all of that was false and the electric transition would be cheaper, better for the environment, employ more people and more. I told her all of that was false and no way it could happen because of x, y, z. You could tell she really wanted me to agree with the transition. I’m sure the same holds true here.
Also not to be but if someone just randomly gave me $500 a month for a year it would help me as well. Not in the same way but it would be helpful. It would help me pay for the roof I’ll need soon.
