World first??? Pericles had a JG scheme up and running in Ancient Athens 2,500 years ago. Then there was the WPA in the US in the 19303.
Participation is voluntary... and it is a mix of private/public jobs that will be created.
Right on, Ralph!
It won’t matter... the people doing this over there are scientific people they have a hypothesis and are testing it in this trial and will see if it works...
If it works they will want to implement it but the people in charge are Art Degree morons and don’t operate that way...
So the dialogic Art Degree morons in charge will just stick dogmatically to their thesis that it won’t work and not do it.,.
