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.

A list of top UK politicians were banned from entering Russia today, as Moscow continued its tit-for-tat diplomatic feud with London and accused senior Labour figures of “Russophobic” leanings.

Can someone explain how Israel has been in Gaza for over a year, and used the most high tech and well trained personal to look for hostages. But they tell us they can't find them. Yet Israel searched Lebanon, which is 35 times larger than Gaza and found hundreds of targets in a matter of days. How?

Bill’s conspiracy theory is true, and here’s a related one: Your utility also knows solar power is cheaper, which is why it’s probably building a lot of it to sell to you, while using its political influence to prevent you from putting your own on your roof. (Hi FPL!)
Here's an example of an accurate, and useful, conspiracy argument that we should be making: Solar power is cheaper. (and those who oppose it know so, and are conspiring to make sure you keep paying them for energy when the sun provides it for free)

A reminder that the Royal Family claim £500,000,000 a year in benefits even though they have £22bn.

While 650 MP's get an extra £150,000,000 in benefits a year on top of their £94,500 salaries.

If we are cracking down on benefits, start here.

Greed is an addiction, it ruins their lives, it ruins the lives of people all around them, everything else loses value, and all they want is more of the money drug that they don't need or spend.

It is time to get all the Billionaires into detox, and all their money safely taxed away.

Billionaires making $1,000,000 a minute have convinced idiots making $20 an hour, that immigrants making $7 an hour are the reason their wages are so low.

But if you're not an idiot you know its the billionaires blatant robbery that keeps your wages so low.
