I know. Big shock here, but I still wanted to put it all in one place. In my latest Substack, I compiled the evidence from multiple pilots focused on homeless people to show that over and over again, cash reduces homelessness and also even reduces drug use.
Universal basic income is the way to go.
Universal basic income is the way to go.
We Gave Homeless People Cash. They Bought Housing Not Drugs.
The evidence from Vancouver to Denver is undeniable: When people in crisis receive money, substance use goes down, employment goes up, and homelessness ends.

It's time the #UKGovernment held these lying charlatans to account. For what they have done to the #UK, for what THEIR #Brexit has lost & cost us, the traitors should be jailed and asset-stripped for every last penny!
The economic cost of Brexit to the UK now exceeds what it paid into the EU over its entire 47 years of membership.
A colossal, unprecedented act of economic self-harm sold to a nation by grifters and snake oil salesmen.
