Re: So-called Basic Income - Stockton, Ca.

I am reminded that the first attempt at socialism on american soil was "The Jamestown Experiment" (https://www.historyisfun.org/jamestown- ... jamestown/) and it took a year or less for them to drop the idea as ineffective.......
Many of the original colonists were upper-class Englishmen, and the colony lacked sufficient laborers and skilled farmers.
...
Captain John Smith became the colony’s leader in September 1608 – the fourth in a succession of council presidents – and established a “no work, no food” policy.
yet another example of "those who do not study history, are doomed to repeat it....."
