"It came as little surprise last week when a pair of new bills suddenly surfaced in Tallahassee meant to banish guaranteed income from Florida."
Looks like Florida may be the next state to ban local governments from doing basic income pilots, because the results make billionaires feel uncomfortable

“…a speech…devoid of policy specifics, a few lines stood out…Perez obliquely attacked “guaranteed income.” That’s a type of benefit program that provides…no-strings-attached payments to people in need, &…, so, establishes an economic floor below which no one can fall.”
If it makes people less desperate to accept low-paying work, it will take longer for billionaires to rack up their next billion.
