“Basic income is not a utopian dream. It is a practical solution whose time has arrived—we need to ensure it becomes a reality.”

The article references the Mincome trial fifty years ago in Dauphin, Manitoba, where a basic income pilot showed positive results. I was a teenager living there at the time. I’m as not hopeful as the author of this article that basic income will become policy in what’s left of my lifetime.
