While "cut and run" is definitely good enough advice to give a loved one, it basically doesnt fix the problem, and it doesnt stop or slow down the problem.

If the problem is that you whine and cry about how much you hate the place you live, then 'cutting and running' would, in fact, fix the problem.

Is there a hypothesis or hypotheses this experiment is testing?

If you take enough money from the workers and give it to the freeloaders eventually everyone will be equally poor. trudOWE is trying to prove what everyone that has even a smattering of knowledge abut economics already knows.

It is a "throw money at a problem" solution. It might be a step in the right direction, but without it allows the government to pat themselves on the back without looking at real issues like a basic standard of living. Wtf is a 'basic income' when we know that the income will be spent in different areas of canada where the costs are different?

Are you kidding me? you think that shuffling the deck chairs on the LIE-beral TITANIC is progress? Its a LIE-beral shell game designed to make poor people LESS angry with LIE-berals- UNTIL AFTER the next election- since it is LIE-berals that are behind major rent increases and soaring house prices! A 2006 LIE-beral report hidden until recently indicates they KNEW that their policy to discourage the building of low rise individual homes would drive up house costs! LIE-berals do not want you adding a basement apartment to your bungalow because you WONT SHARE YOUR GRAVY with LIE-beral Hogs-you will just take cash under the table! So its best to cram people into high rise buildings and its best for LIE-berals that they wont have to build new transit or new roads if they cram us together on existing streets-and too bad that poor people are squeezed out!

LIE-berals WANT US crammed into down town areas and condo builders do NOT want to rent out their costly to build high rise slums for crap money so rents are UP and welfare types are squeezed for housing costs-especially since welfare rates have NOT kept up with inflation. And thanks to LIE-beral manipulation of the numbers-we no longer have any idea what the inflation rate is!

Hydro rates have soared but the average renter in a building built before 1991 DOES NOT PAY directly for hydro so its left to landlords to be squeezed between what people can pay and what it costs to actually maintain one of those high rise slums! That`s why so many of them are ill-maintained ghettos!

Our property taxes on the edge of GTA are about DOUBLE what is paid in Toronto- and our taxes went up-on average 4.5 percent-NOT INCLUDING the increase due to the increased paper value of our homes! Its all very well to point out how much more a home can be sold for if you wanted to sell it but LIE-berals do not want to do the math on where you go and what you PAY- AFTER
you sell!

Water bills UP anther 5 percent as well. Food costs up for my main most frequently eaten because they are bargain items just jumped TWENTY PERCENT-with slightly smaller packages!

Its all LIE-berals robbing Peter to pay Paul and then stiffing Paul with the bills but Pauil wont find out what LIE-berals will do to him till AFTER the next election!

Blah blah blah. We know your opinions.

We also know that you have an Sm.D in economics.

You said nothing to answer my question, or to fill me in on how this experiment is constructed.

But you got in your usual whimper, so well done.

I wonder what Jin staying in Ontario does to fix, stop, or slow down "the problem."

if you had stayed in Okie and stood for what might be right maybe you would know
...but noeeee

If the problem is that you whine and cry about how much you hate the place you live, then 'cutting and running' would, in fact, fix the problem.

then you would be what T-bones might call, at other times, a "coward"

I'm sorry. Is there a question in there somewhere?

Question? No question-just a detailed statement illustrating that LIE-berals are still trying to BUY elections by giving us back our own money! Of course there will be HELL to pay if LIE-berals do win the next Ontari-owe election since they owe hundreds of billions of dollars in pension promises to civil service Hogs! LIE-berals have been so free with promises of more gravy that it would bankrupt the country if they tried to pay out even a modest fraction of their insane promises! You think electricity and food are pricey now-just wait till LIE-berals start the search for more Hog gravy!

College profs demanding IMMEDIATE fifty percent raises in pay are just the warm up to the price gouging that will occur if Wynne-bag gets her hands on anther mandate!
