    In the 35% White city of Rochester, NY, whose murder rate was once calculated to be equal to that of Nigeria's, Black Mayor Malik Evans has unveiled a $500 universal basic income to serve qualifying

    best positioned to make informed financial decisions to address their household needs," Mayor Evans said at the city hall press
    conference. "Folks aren't going to get this money and waste it."
