Giving money directly to poor people (2013)
There are some things like infrastructure that probably makes sense to centralize such as transportation or telecommunication. I think it still makes sense to run these things paid for by the government as opposed to people voting with cash. However, I might be wrong. There are real limits to how much money we have.<p>So a question like do we spend on a local transit subway system are difficult because there is so much politics. Even trying to get the F train go express in Brooklyn had so much opposition.<p>When I read the article headline I thought of course cash does not solve everything. We still need roads and bridges and fiber optic cables. However, if the period have the cash maybe they can decide for themselves what they want to prioritize.<p>Too bad we can&#x27;t have a single tax system around the world so we could hand the same tax brackets around the world. That would make it so much easier to raise taxes on the top bracket without worrying about money fleeing the jurisdiction and we&#x27;d be able to fund things like a basic income.
