Germany Starts Universal Basic Income Trial Giving Some Citizens $1400 A Month For 3 Years
(Arjun Walia) Germany is starting a universal basic income trial where volunteers will get a $1400 dollar payment every single month as part of a study that will compare the experiences of 120 volunteers who receive it to 1,380 people who won’t.

The government does not, indeed, waylay a man in a lonely place, spring upon him from the road side, and, holding a pistol to his head, proceed to rifle his pockets. But the robbery is none the less a robbery on that account; and it is far more dastardly and shameful.” — Lysander Spooner, American abolitionist and legal theorist.
