What if we were the government?
Season 2, Jun 21, 2020, 09:15 PM
Rich and Carola pretend they are in power and put forward what they think could be just the solution to move Britain out of lockdown and into a more sustainable future.
In this episode: Could Britain move from a Furlough in lockdown to a Universal Basic Income (UBI) ending up in a green economy? It seems to solve so many weaknesses of the current schemes, especially considering our climate catastrophe just around the next corner.
