Looks like my oldest can't make it out in California, so now they're coming home. With their roomate. Joe's not working so he's home (contract work out of state, he saves up and comes home for a while). Youngest is at camp but will be home soon. That's one kiddo and four grown people. Four dogs. Three birds. A kitten. Y'all, this is a trailer.
But when the deniers - especially in America - go to the store, there's always enough to feed an army on the shelves. And their GOP representatives always dismiss it as weather "and you know how weather is..."
And they buy it. They buy it because believing scientists are just a bunch of professional guessers is easier. It means they can go on as before. It means they don't have to do anything about it. They don't have to care about it.
Individuals who received the $1,000/mo or $500/mo payments were more likely to find a stable, full-time job than before they received the basic income.
Results showed 45% of participants secured housing, while $589,214 was saved in public service costs.
"It's freedom. It's freedom from poverty..."

Wrote about a free garden I had back when I couldn't afford soil or tools, when I left that garden was fertile enough that the next person just pulled my dandelions and plopped a plant in the middle of my clover.

Nature, science, and art are super cool. Terribly sorry for the stuff that doesn't fit.
