SENATE BILL: Basic Income Guarantee Advertising Program (Law'd)

[President Tyrion]

Oh wow, I've reached the clogging limit? It's alright, we all need a little more Tyrion in our lives.

In any case, this is pretty straightforward. 60% of people don't know about Nixcome according to the GM, so we should inform them that it exists.

[President Tyrion]

Amendment is friendly.

I'd also like to see an answer to tmth's question.

I had a reason for $12 million but I forgot. I think that was the cost of having TV ads and physical posters in some jurisdiction, so I just co-opted that. $60 million would be fine, and much more comprehensive.

[President Tyrion]

I'm ready for a final vote here. Any objections?

[President Tyrion]

Friendly

[President Tyrion]

Aye

The amendment automatically enrolls people in Nixcome when they apply to a welfare service run by Atlasia. What shua is misunderstanding here is that the first instance of paperwork is in reference to filing for a non-BIG form of aid, whereupon enrollment into Nixcome is automatic. They can opt out with additional paperwork.

[President Tyrion]

Thank you, Tyrion. That clears things up for me somewhat. Still, it sounds like a confusing process just to opt out of BIG and I do not understand why we would want to do that.

The reasoning is that not enough people are using BIG, and we're trying to actively encourage people to switch from the less efficient forms of aid. An opt-out essentially hooks people into the program.

[President Tyrion]

Alright Yankee, your turn for an amendment.

[President Tyrion]

Friendly, and a good reminder of a resource!

[President Tyrion]

Nixcome doesn't cost significantly more than the amalgamation of other forms of welfare, iirc.

[President Tyrion]

I motion for a final vote.

The costs of BIG have already been figured into the theoretical post-Nix budget by having been approved. This is just debt ceiling stuff, at this point, and I think it's time to end it.

[President Tyrion]

Aye
