Following the pandemic, numerous cities and states have decided to implement UBI programs to help residents.
Some states are offering recurring monthly payments while others may offer one larger sum for a year or two.
Many wonder if the stimulus checks had a hand in inflation, but even if they did, cities and states aren’t letting their residents struggle.
