Title: Palm Springs Moves Forward With Measure To Provide Universal Basic Income To Low-Income Trans, Nonbinary Residents

It looks like universal basic income could soon become a reality for some Americans.

And those Americans are transgendered people living in Palm Springs, California.

The city's town council voted to allocate $200,000 to Queer Works and DAP Health, two non-profits, to develop a pilot program that would provide cash support to transgender, nonbinary and intersex residents in the form of cash payments.

The city council considered the measure for "an hour and a half" last Thursday, before unanimously voting to support it. The Washington Post said the proposal could be "the first guaranteed basic income program specifically for low-income transgender and nonbinary people to be implemented in the country."

Christy Holstege, a Palm Springs City Council member, commented: “We are a beacon in the country and in the world, a place where LGBTQ people have fled for decades to seek sanctuary and safety and their own community. And so I think it’s really important for Palm Springs to be on the front lines of supporting the trans community … especially when they’re under attack throughout the country.”

She has noted that there is an “undercurrent of poverty” in the city.

The mayor of Palm Springs is a transgender woman and the city has a history of funding queer and trans organizations in the community.

The city has also suffered from "worsening income inequality" and skyrocketing housing prices that have disproportionately affected transgender and nonbinary people, the report says.

Jacob Rostovsky, who helped push the measure, said that for people with low incomes "regular, unrestricted cash payments" are a "huge benefit".

“Most of my community is trying to decide if they should eat that night, have somewhere safe to sleep, be able to afford their hormone care of therapy. They’re making decisions constantly, daily, that many cisgender individuals don’t even think about, and that includes homeless or housing unstable cisgender individuals,” he concluded.

I didn't realize poverty was much of a problem in Palm Springs. Maybe the liberal millionaires should pay their pool boys a little more.

As God is my witness, I don't know what possessed me to get out of bed today.

At this point I would prefer to be killed instantly in a nuclear war than starve or freeze to death next winter. Thanks Joe, great options you've given us.

I saw something about that yesterday. Brilliant - you can always trust a Pakistani to be on the level. The Bidet admin goes so far beyond stupid it is off the scale.

I could identify as a trans-non-binary whatever and qualify. Or sue if they don't pay me.

Identify as a resident of Palm Springs to go for the win.
