Never seemed to work anywhere else. But for some reason the Ontario governments things it can do different. Yet again.

Might have something to do with an election coming and they need more votes.

I have known so many people that if given the opertunity to be handed a check every month that would cover basic living needs would walk out of work and never go back. We already have a shortage of workers. Not gonna help anything.

It's only 1400 dollars approx for a single person. It'll barely cover rent because of greedy owners etc

Rent for tiny condos it's over priced these days. Factor in other expenses such as food and utilities. Find it funny how some people are freaking out over basic income when the cost of living is ridiculously high and employers pay Jack shit for hard working individuals. Gonna leave it at that

It would be a real help for those of us that can't even afford to rent a place on our own. A basic income plus working would be really handy to help me get on my feet.

Last year or the year before the propsed income was ~2500 a month.

To me it would do well. Sure some people would be slackers, but they're going to spend the money right? On top of that, if it was a basic income and anything above it would be yours, I think opportunists would work to make that extra money. At least the basic living would be covered.

As long as crybabies who do nothing but complain about "those ungrateful slackers who do nothing but collect" simmer the fuck down and see it as a positive, it could make local economies boom.

I'm for it. But guaranteed $1416 isnt enough to live on. It would sort of force people to work.

Also I wish these stupid articles would be straight to the point instead of writing in circlejerk filler garbage that no one cares about. I don't care about how it made someone feel. Just present the facts you buncha pussies
