Citizen’s basic income
A taxi driver inspired this post. We were discussing homelessness and he stated that everyone should have a basic income, a living wage that is guaranteed. I hadn’t heard this from someone for a very long time and it inspired me to do a post, but then wa la (you know how it takes to put these jumbled ideas together?) I stumbled on this website. The Global Basic Income Foundation and the Archbishop Tutu (below) give excellent coverage to idea saving me a Sunday afternoon.
I had no idea there was such a foundation, so thank you taxi driver. I don’t know what it is about taxi drivers here in Canada, but they are some of the most worldly and politically astute people.
