The mayor of Stockton, California is steadfast on his plan to provide basic income to residents, no matter what conservatives label him.

The project seeks to raise awareness about basic income, a notion backed by leaders like Bernie Sanders, Elon Musk and Richard Branson. Research has proven a basic income can not only boost the economy, but also provide people to focus on careers instead of dead-end jobs.
