A Seattle-area guaranteed basic income pilot gave low-income residents $500 a month to help reduce poverty. Employment in the group nearly doubled, and numerous unhoused residents secured housing. The Workforce Development Council of Seattle-King County launched a 10-month guaranteed basic income pilot program with 102 participants in fall 2022. New findings by research firm Applied Inference reveal that the $5,000 total payments improved participants' quality of life, housing, and employment outcomes.
Oh gosh look: another successful UBI pilot program.
Not only was employment doubled in the test group, their savings increased, and health & life insurance coverage tripled. Many participants got health insurance for the first time.
It's time to roll this out nationwide and with more money. The return on investment is undeniable and would be huge if it applied to everyone.

The not so fun facts of the first scene of Episode 1 (and on Jayce and Singed)
- You can see that Viktor's spine shattered on impact (Hexcore x-ray). He died in the council room (hence Jayce later telling Viktor, "my partner died in this room")
- Despite the fact other people died, including Mrs Kiramman whom Jayce was very close to (she was his patron and he owed her a lot), he only starts crying when he sees Viktor. It's also the moment he starts dissociating (as proven by the back and forth of the action, where we the viewers see events in the present in the council room and in the future in the lab)
- Viktor doesn't have clothes on the top half of his body in the lab because Jayce attempted to revive him on scene, and failed
- The lab is five blocks away. Jayce RAN five entire blocks while carrying dead weight (which is an insane physical feat)
- Jayce didn't save Viktor's life. Jayce literally brought him back from the dead by using the Hexcore.
- Jayce broke Viktor's promise because he would rather have Viktor be alive with him (paraphrasing, "I'm going to leave the council, my place is in the lab, with you") than to respect Viktor's last wish, destroying the Hexcore.
- Jayce studied all of Viktor's research. He doesn't care about the outcome and the toll on Viktor's body (which was literally so changed that Viktor himself replied, "What am I?") as long as it means Viktor is "alive"
That scene illustrates perfectly Singed's character motivations.
"Why would anyone commit acts others deem unspeakable? For love."
At that point in time both Heimerdinger and Viktor had warned Jayce about the Hexcore. One was Jayce's mentor and the other his partner.
And yet Jayce rejects their opinions each time if it means saving Viktor. (He continues research on Hextech in the hopes of saving Viktor's life. He refuses to destroy the Hexcore because he wants to bring Viktor back to life.)
I find it super interesting that both of the brilliant Piltover scientists in the show are the ones to reject scientific ethos. And this leads to unspeakable horrors, with the creation of Warwick and the Herald.
Yet funnily enough, both Jayce and Singed get their happy endings. The only thing they wanted was to be reunited with the person they lost. And they did. We see that Orianna is alive at the end of the episode just like Viktor. Viktor's theme only plays when Jayce tells him that "(they are going to) finish this together" indicating that at the very end, the original Viktor came back. It is also indicated visually by his appearance which is that of Viktor from Act 1, Season 1.
(We know that regardless of the existence of Hextech, of whether Jinx bombed the council room or not, Viktor would have died by succumbing to his disease. Much like Orianna. I can't help but think of the very, very dark timeline where a grief-stricken, brilliant Jayce meets Singed.)
What a beautiful, beautiful show.
She's so helpful in the remake isn't she?

can someone crossover Ratatouille and Arcane plz? there is a tiny Jinx inside Jayce's new Piltie hat, making him incredible at the science lab???? causing shit to blow up ad nauseam?
the dark night of the soul is when Viktor finds out. What type of hyjinks do they get up to? THIS IS WHAT I WANT, NOT MORE TEAR STAINS ON MY PILLOWCASE.

I hope everyone grows tired of being cruel to each other soon
