The bizarre tale of President Nixon and his basic income bill

In 1969 President Richard Nixon was on the verge of implementing a basic income for poor families in America. It promised to be a revolutionary step – had the President not changed his mind at the last minute. This is the incredible and largely forgotten tale of just how close the U.S. came to stamping out poverty altogether.

Analiză 📰#TheGuardian. Donald #Trump pare a folosi “teoria nebunului” în privința 🇮🇷#Iranului, o strategie pe care fostul președinte Richard #Nixon a aplicat-o în timpul crizei 🇻🇳#Vietnamului. Prin declarațiile sale publice, îi poate face pe adversari să se îndoiască de sănătatea lui mintală, să îi intimideze și să îi facă să dea înapoi.
