Denver gave people experiencing homelessness $1k/month. A year later, nearly half had housing.
They also had fewer ER visits, nights spent in a hospital, and jail stays.
The report estimates that this reduction in public service use SAVED the city $589k.

Denver gave people experiencing homelessness $1,000 a month. A year later, nearly half of participants said they had housing.
Participants in Denver's basic-income program reported having more-secure housing, though results were similar in the trial and control groups.

This is an amazing feature! Looking forward to diving deeper into this in the coming days and weeks.

Just my 2 cents. But my goal is to ignore the trolls. Give them zero attention. Block them if they annoy me.
I think the worst thing we can do on this site is re-create the ad hominem/ personal attacks that occur across comments on Twitter/insta/tiktok/ etc

Yes, yes, this, exactly. Ron, as is so often the case, is spot on.
A frustrating thing for me right now is the media narrative that RFK Jr is just an “anti-vaxxer” when he has said so many crazy things about other stuff over the years. We compiled 10 nutty clips on various topics, which still barely scratches the surface. open.substack.com/pub/meidasto...

Past comments include denying AIDS and calling vaccinated children "damaged"

Never forget that when Seoul, Korea removed the Cheonggyecheon expressway in 2003 and replaced it with a restored stream, 1000 acre park and improved public transit, not only did it transform the city’s public life and economic success, but the car traffic got better.
The traffic got BETTER.

It’s going to be amazing to watch how quickly Twitter loses its utility when liberals eventually flee the site and it turns into Gab or Parler or Truth Social.

Take a wild guess who appointed that judge.
That’s right — Donald Trump.
Thanks to him, 4 million people will no longer get a raise.
It’s far from the first time he’s cheated working class people out of their money, and it certainly won’t be the last.

Remember: fascism thrives on apathy.
The autocrats want you to tune out. They want to overwhelm you. They want you to give up.
Don’t give them want they want.
Stay in this fight. Remain vigilant. And let’s keep building.
