Happening now: at the Broadview ICE facility outside Chicago, Border Patrol Commander Greg Bovino and other CBP/ICE agents emerge to patrol Beach Street and escort a vehicle out.
They ordered people out of the street, walked to the end of it and then back to the fence.

UBI saves a ton of public money, but its lack of cruelty sends certain people into a rage, so it’s hard to put into practice.
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.

Noticed this...interestingly named psychiatry clinic in the West Loop the other day and instantly thought of Elon between that and the ketamine. His brand is super strong these days.

Never in my life have I ever been hanging out with my friends, having a blast, and suddenly thought, “Hey, this is kind of an echo chamber, huh? You know what we would benefit from? Hanging out with someone who hates gay people! That’s a perspective we haven’t considered!”
