Gen X may be the first to need a universal basic income after late-career job loss

Evidence suggests that compared to the boomers we studied, a larger proportion of Gen X are susceptible to hard falls than their predecessors. This demands a structural solution and a universal basic income might be the answer.

Andrew Yang said this shit is coming in the 2020 election. With companies saving money by relocating jobs abroad and replacing workers with AI, how tf are people gonna be able to afford the goods and services these companies produce if they don't have jobs and income?

• A New Jersey lawmaker is proposing a nationwide pilot program for a guaranteed basic income.

• The 3-year experiment would give 10,000 Americans a monthly basic income.

• The payments would cover the local cost of a two-bedroom apartment.

Program giving $500 monthly checks to Americans extended

A survey of participants found that cash support reduced household stress and increased financial stability.

The nation's second-most populous county has extended its guaranteed income program through 2026.

Thousands of low- and middle-income residents in Cook County, Illinois, are set to receive continued financial support following the "historic success" of the Midwestern region's guaranteed income pilot program.

Cook County's announcement follows President Donald Trump's proposal for a national plan to distribute $2,000 "tariff dividend" checks to Americans—a move with significant fiscal and legal implications.

And another thing. Univeral Basic Income is the norm for rich countries. We are the richest country in the world that supports our citizens the least. IN UAE every citizen gets 60K a year at least working or not. Just for living they get 60K. UAE has no problems getting people to move there. LOL No brain drain going on. Very little crime no poverty no homelessness.

Think of UBI as a bribe to stay. A $500K home for a $115k salary that’s going to dramatically shrink might not be a “good investment” for most people. If you don’t have the people willing to defend the land, then that’s territory you can’t really hold despite the legendary army and technological advancement.
