@marcoarment@mastodon.social @codinghorror@infosec.exchange It’s kind of depressing it’s still framed as trying UBI out to see if it works. Don’t get me wrong, this is absolutely a big deal.

WV faces many structural issues that keep people in poverty that UBI may or may not fix. Investing some of this money into quality #education with quality teachers paid a legitimate salary, would, IMO, go a long way to sustain a path out of poverty. my unsolicited $0.02
