No, negative income tax usually requires that you make some money and file taxes. UBI doesn't.

One has the intention of encouraging workforce participation. The other tries to help everyone.

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.)

There are people in temporate states like CA that just put water in. That's why I explicitly mentioned it.

+1 to making sure your washer fluid can handle the cold and to making sure your tires handle snow/ice well. (There are definitely all-seasons that'll do well or better than some winter tires. Unless you know that where you're moving doesn't plow down to pavement, I'd avoid studded tires.). Tirerack.com used to have a ton of data about tire performance on ice & snow, so you might look there, but they've been reducing the range of tires they carry and rate in the last few years so they may not have your tires.

Find a snow brush for your car that will let you reach & clear the snow off your car. I'll also say I often am most disappointed by the ice scraper on a brush -- meaning that's the part that makes me regret the purchase of an individual brush.

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

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