Universal Basic Income Is a Pandora’s Box
While there have been many "successful" UBI trials, few have been tested at over $12,000 per year. The case for a Universal Basic Income (UBI) is a strong one, in some ways. A UBI would stimulate aggregate demand, help those affected by technological change, and create a basic income for the poor. Its effectiveness and impact, however, depend on how much is given out. The benefits and consequences of a $100 UBI will be very different than one of $1,000.

New book tells story of funny ‘Stinker’ signs
If you’ve driven the desolate stretches of desert that comprise much of Idaho and its neighboring states, you know something about boredom. The highways are straight as a string, the scenery monotonous, the nearest towns so far away you wonder if you’ll ever get to them. There was a time, however, when signs dotting the West’s sagebrush immensities brought humor to some of the most desolate places imaginable. Those who remember them know exactly what I’m talking about — the Fearless Farris Stinker signs.
