$150 a month would cover several bills for us. Does each individual get it or is it per household? Because if it’s per individual (presuming adults only), that’s $300, which would cover some debt too. So yeah, pretty good!
Doing things per household is just weird. Like, what even counts as a household? And why should people who live together receive less than if they lived apart?
There’s ALWAYS a balance. Nothing is free, the money always comes from the people that think they’re getting a handout when they’re not. Common sense 101.

I don’t expect these things to make sense.
Downside is it’s expensive to live there. But they also have no state income tax.
I mean… I think the downside is you’re living in Alaska and the winter is like 10 months long.

For Alaska the downside is that oil companies make less profit. That’s where the money is coming from.
