☆ A basic income program funded by descendants of slave owners provides $1,000 a month as a form of reparations
▼ + stars: | 2024-10-13 | by ( Katie Balevic | ) www.businessinsider.com time to read: +7 min

Buck and Gracie Close are funding a basic income program for victims of unjust policing. They view the program as a form of reparations for their family's history as slave owners. Small-scale guaranteed basic income programs have sprouted around the country in recent years, inspired in part by the success of pandemic-era cash handouts. These basic income programs offer unrestricted cash payments to specific groups of vulnerable low-income residents for a limited time period. The programs differ from a universal basic income, which would offer regular cash payments to all residents regardless of their financial status.

Kanny is a startup that uses character assessments to improve the hiring processes for employers.

It is character," Kanny CEO and cofounder Sean Vassilaros told me. Yet the control that job seekers have, Vassilaros said, is in shaping the narrative of who they are.
