This is so cool! I can't wait for the US government to see this data and implement the program nation wide!!! :(
- Some of the laboratories of democracy are pretty progressive, some more than the countries thought of as "progressive" in some ways even. But those ideas are never implemented nationally.
Why is this a Google drive link? If the PDF is publicly available, link to that.
- That's how DBIP published it. When you go to their website, the link goes to their google drive
  
  Ew
- As opposed to what? Leaving people homeless so those greedy banks and landlords can’t get at their money? Yeah, that’ll show ‘em.
- This is such a deranged fucking comment
  Yeah, let people be homeless, it’s better than paying for them to live somewhere, they can all get fucked
  Like seriously, who thinks like this
  
  the majority of usa populace. most folks in America believe in a just world where those who are good are rich and should be rewarded and those who are bad are poor and should be punished.
  hence why when a billionaire breaks the laws nobody cares, but when a poor person steals food they should be locked up.
  they also believe in zero-sum thinking, where if anyone gets anything it came at the expense of someone else. they have no concept of how economics and life actually works. just consumed by jealousy and bitterness and assuming if others didn't 'take' from them they would have more.
- Giving desperate people money for food and housing is clearly a plot to benefit BIG CAPITALISM!
