Time to move past the neverending trial stage. Yes, basic income reduces homelessness.
An Oregon pilot program giving cash to homeless youths sees a staggering reduction in homelessness. The program gave participants $1,000 cash payments each month for two years, and at the end of the project's first phase, 91% of participants reported being in stable housing.

We’re going to have to have two levels of tribunals, one for the complicated prosecutions involving violent crimes, Constitutional and human rights violations, and another just to process the mass firings for the Hatch Act violations. But you need both! Nobody skips out because they’re “small fry”.
If they think this is bad wait until the tribunals for crimes against humanity.
A former ICE director says agents have been put "in a terrible position" and are being tasked with operations "in a city where they don't belong."

China’s state security authorities uncover case of major cyberattack from US NSA employing state-level cyber-espionage weapons targeting ‘Beijing Time’: MSS
China’s state security authorities have uncovered a major case of cyberattack from the US, obtaining ironclad evidence that the US National Security Agency had infiltrated China’s National Time Service Center under the Chinese Academy of Sciences. The operation has thwarted the US side’s attempts to steal state secrets and conduct cyber sabotage, effectively safeguarding the security of “Beijing Time,” China's Ministry of State Security (MSS) said in a statement on Sunday.
