No. If you reported $0 in income on your taxes, you get nothing. There's a minimum income to get anything back. So if you don't work, you get nothing, so you are incentivized to find a job of some kind.

But that minimum should be quite low and attainable.

A negative income that is better than that. It says, if you're working, but only making $12k, the state will give you money so you now have $20k. (Not real numbers.)

The idea is that it incentivizes participation in the work force, with hopes that the extra money helps you get stable and move up the payscale where you may stop needing the external support.

Keep in mind that Judicial Review (deciding if laws are constitutional or not) isn't even a constitutional power. It's one the court gave itself in Marbury v. Madison.

A standard would reduce the barrier to entry, which would increase competition. Can't have that.

Guess I didn't realize it's hitting humans on Long Island pretty well.

"... is now recovering at home ... is expected to make a full recovery ..."

To save you a click. (There's not much more in the article.)

Unfortunately, the article doesn't mention where he got it. Was he visiting some lab or did he get bit someplace some locals should be taking precautions?

(He's retired, but I don't know if he still has a presence in the industry or not, giving talks and doing visits.)

"Fox" could be confused with "box", so it goes with "Foxtrot".

Also, keep in mind that everything is a product of its time.
