Wednesday was the first day of a $55 million experiment to test whether cash payments can protect children from the toxic stress of poverty.

    Honey, you and all UBIniks just frame “the fire department helps everyone” in a dishonest way to support y’all’s point.

    In reality, the fire department doesn’t help you unless there is a fire. It’s there if you need it, there isn’t a firefighter in your house right now just waiting for a fire to happen. You don’t need one, so you don’t get one. They’ll come when you need them and not until then.

    In fact, in most places you would get in trouble if you repeatedly lied to the fire department to get them to show up. Why is that?
