Lately I think most people who have been paying attention to such things have been hearing a lot about the basic income grant. Around the world pilot programmes are being tried to see how such a programme can work, from Namibia to Canada to Finland such are being tried, and initial results are encouraging. In high income countries, they see the impending loss of jobs to automation as a reason to start such a programme, but in countries like Botswana it is a more humane way of alleviating poverty and giving people agency in their lives no matter their […]

Matthew Olienechak It’s clear that the Democratic Party is in shambles.

Not that anyone should find that surprising, considering the outcome of last November’s election and its aftermath.

Despite facing off against one of the most unpopular candidates to ever grace the political stage, the Democratic Party failed to win the presidency. They even lost both houses of Congress.So, what happened?Now, I could spend the rest of this column tearing apart the choice of Hillary Clinton as the party’s presidential candidate, but it has certainly been overdone by the media.I think it would be a much better idea to focus instead […]
