Mayoral task force recommends paying struggling Chicagoans $1,000 a month

bump for those who have not got a chance to read the article.

Here's how that turned out in Finland:

"COPENHAGEN, Denmark — A nationwide experiment with basic income in Finland has not increased employment among those participating in the two-year trial, but their general well-being seems to have increased, a report said Friday."

So people were happy with the handouts but the economy didn't improve. Handouts are a moralle boost, doesn't do anything in the long run.

Being productive and having purpose is a basic human need. Through education, training, job skills (for actual jobs) and being smarter is a better fix than handouts.

There is not a lot people in Chicago that are unemployed that are worth investing $1000 dollars in. Have them get a job if they are worth it. The people that are worth a $1000 are working.
