Palm Springs moves to pay transgender, non-binary residents. According to Fox News, A California city is planning to give universal basic income (UBI) to transgender and nonbinary residents. Transgender residents in Palm Springs, California are eligible to receive a UBI of up to $900 per month solely for identifying as transgender or nonbinary — no strings attached. The new pilot program will have $200,000 set aside for allocation after a unanimous vote by the Palm Springs City Council last week.
