Anything and everything that’s under Mandatory special necessity needs to be left as is at the ODSP administrations for medical supply and medical transportation.

As for (those working casual time because that’s all they can handle) the 200$/month exemption, employment start up and training benefit, work related benefit and employment transitional benefit; they should all be merged into one benefit similar to what BC’s ODSP: PWD has set up at first 9600$/year in job earning untouched meaning you can very well just earn 9599$ in one month of a callendar year and not earn anything the rest of the callendar year and still receive the expected monthly checques on ODSP an ODSP recipient / BIGD would normally get.

]]> Comment on Our most basic needs in society surely includes money by Jason Hartwick /2016/12/19/our-most-basic-needs-in-society-surely-includes-money/#comment-29494 Tue, 20 Dec 2016 14:49:18 +0000 /?p=3325#comment-29494 Great article! One thing twinged, though: The idea of the few having all the capital, and the rest living off them being taxed is not as unlikely as you make it sound. 80%+ of the world’s wealth is already in the hands of 1% of the population, and that gap keeps growing. Couple that with the rate of growth of automation, and that scenario becomes the most likely, not the least. If we can have a Basic Income in place and already functioning by the time that likely future comes to pass, we will be ahead of the curve instead of trying to play catch up on what will be a necessity then, as it is now.
