Oregon Measure 118 - $1,600 for every Oregonian, paid for by giant corps who mostly pay less taxes than you do. (www.yesonmeasure118.com)

I posted about this 3 months ago and it was $750--glad to see the measure is going for it. The $1,600 is per person, not household. Minors count.

Large corps ($25m in revenue minimum) pay.

Kinda-sorta UBI. Seems like a good way to show the positives of such a program to the whole country.

Yup. Just like pandemic payments, only this time not borrowing against national debt, just sharing profits--only unlike pandemic stimulus payments this has no income restrictions.
