Discussion of Basic Income the U.S. media continues to increase. Just in the past two weeks several publications have addressed the issue, many of the major media outlets, and most of them have addressed it in a positive way. Bloomberg View includes the headline, “A Basic Income Should Be the Next Big Thing.” Gawker calls Universal Basic Income “the Utopia We Deserve.” Ben Thomas of Crossing Genres writes, “If You Think Free Money Kills Work Ethic, Your Definition of ‘Work’ Is Horrible.” Triple pundit summarizes, “The Case for Universal Basic Income.” The only negative recent article, in Forbes, gets the definition of basic income wrong. The author is under the misconception the basic income requires that the government “let people starve” and deny them “medical care.” So, even this article does not oppose basic income as it actually is defined by supporters.
