It seems that if you offer people enough free money, they will be willing to overlook the fact that it doesn’t exist. 
Socialism is a great way to buy votes from a population of short-term thinkers who believe in utopia.
Wealth is only created from freedom. No other way.

Is everyone in Chicago getting $6M or just Chicago residents who are also pilots? BTW, seems like a lot.

How can anyone get by on just $6 million dollars a year? Seriously though, these nuts have no concept of either hard work or the value of money, alas schools teach neither and produce socialist morons like this.

As I’ve said thru other medium, use the Obama “not a library” funds for this plan. Destined to fail as many of the people you are helping have been on government programs for years.

500$/month for 1000 household. This is 6m /y. So the pilot will last 1y. I would be interested to see the results. What is expected with this experiment. What will be measured? What about the others who did not benefit from this gift.

Thanks for the link. It's still going on u til end of 2018. No hard data yet. They talk about positive example. Let's see how it goes in average. If the majority just stop working it's not good.

I live here and it's a good example of politicians draining the system for as long as they can as it suits their own needs and keeps them in power. When it can no longer be sustained they will simply move on to greener pastures because they have no real SITG

Everywhere that's tried it. Stopped it. Go ahead Chicago. Oh, but I do suggest that all Federal assistance cease. We don;t want to skew the results now...
