Residents of Rheinau, Switzerland, plan to introduce a basic income system that pays residents $2,500 a month...for doing nothing! How do they expect that to work? The decision comes two years after a proposal for a nationwide unconditional state stipend in Switzerland failed to pass in a national vote.

Spain and Canada have tried similar plans before. Hear the conversation we had this morning on Van and Bonnie.
