FYI, one of the most common observations from UBI pilots is that people pay down their debts and increase their savings. You can even see a recent example in this chart, where people did that with their stimulus checks.

If we had universal basic income, we wouldn't pay for our existence with debt.
There goes 90+ day credit-card delinquencies. New cycle high.

He's full of shit of course, but instead of a one-time tariff rebate of $2000, it would be wiser to make the payments smaller and monthly to reduce the impact on inflation and increase the odds of the cash buying basic goods and services. $167/mo over 12 months would be $2k. Better yet, just do UBI.

No ACA extensions = not ideal. But I’d like gently remind my U.S. Democrat friends: even less ideal are the MILLIONS of your fellow citizens who’re suffering because of the shutdown. Don’t play brinkmanship with other people’s well-being…you continue the fight in other ways

A small band of Senate Democrats voted with Republicans on Monday night to approve a funding measure to reopen the federal government — without securing their party’s demand to guarantee an extension of enhanced Affordable Care Act subsidies, which help millions of Americans afford insurance.

Concerning. Whether you get an annual flu shot or not, brace yourselves and be careful out there this season, folks!

If you feel sick, stay home if you can.
If you can’t stay home, wear a mask when going out.

Hey @octranspo.com, if you want more people to actually use transit, maybe stop cramming us in like sardines every morning. This is my Nepean #11 - miserable, unsafe, and totally avoidable. Hire more drivers. Get more buses. ASAP.
