Storkton, California is a month of launch of experiment and no strings guaranteed basic income of $500 a month for its people

To eliminate poverty supposedly now. They're gonna start with a select group of residents early next year Michael Tubbs

Storkton's 27-year-old mayor says that those who get the free money are gonna be tracked and studied

He hopes that they'll collect enough data in a few years to figure out the income floor that people deserve

The money is not coming from taxpayers yet. Now the initial handout is from a group calling itself the economic security project

Facebook co-founder Chris Hughes also co-founded this

Hairbrain scheme now he hopes taxpayers will eventually pay $500 a month to every American

earning under $50,000 a year so that they can have income

Security now as you'd predict a bunch of Storkton residents are drooling at the idea to get free money

They're already sending letters and emails to the young mayor begging to make the list

Now this is a special kind of stupid economic ignorance on steroids. It's not income security

It's job security for liberals playing Santa Claus with other people's money
