Los Angeles, Chicago and 20 Other Cities to Launch Universal Basic Income Scheme to Increase Dependency on Govt.

Twenty-two cities across the United States that will participate in a universal basic income (UBI) program funded by money that cities have received from the coronavirus stimulus package. UBI will make people dependent on the government and will drain the labor force, negatively affecting small businesses. Los Angeles has the largest UBI pilot program with $40 million in funding, Chicago’s leftist Mayor Lori Lightfoot proposes spending $31 million on the program to give 5,000 low-income households $500 per month despite Chicago’s 20-member Black Caucus that wants to redirect the money to violence prevention programs. Durham, North Carolina will soon provide more than 100 formerly incarcerated residents with a guaranteed income of $500 a month.
