Mincome: Discussions Continued
David Calnitsky wrote an opinion piece for today's edition of the Toronto Star on the subject of "mincome" (AKA "guaranteed annual income"). What worries me is that if the idea's adopted, certain parties will make sure the fix is in to ensure some kind of continuation of social stigma enforcement. Because they won't want to live in a world where they don't have a guaranteed-to-them group of people that they will always be able to look down upon and sneer at. Paranoid, I am. But I grew up in a world that had bullies in some classrooms and some school staff taught to enable the bullies' claim to power over their classmates. It happened.
Something to revisit and think over later...
