The tech community has been experimenting with no-strings-attached payments to those in need, pushing the idea of guaranteed income, also known as universal basic income, into the mainstream.
Despite evidence of effectiveness, bipartisan political support for guaranteed income programs is fading, with some states like Texas, Iowa, Idaho, and South Dakota banning such initiatives.
However, there are victories like the potential statewide basic income program in Oregon, supported by figures like Sam Altman, Elon Musk, and Jack Dorsey, with a 3% tax on corporations proposed to fund it.
The Unconditional Income Study, overseen by Sam Altman, will soon release results, evaluating the necessity for guaranteed income as A.I. advancements threaten potential job losses.
