Last year, Greta Thunberg shot to fame as the poster girl for climate-change activism at the age of just 15. By 16 she had a Nobel Peace Prize nomination. Inspired, children around the world have been skipping classes to demand action on climate change.

The first data from an experiment in a California city where needy people get $500 a month from the government shows they spend most of it on things such as food, clothing and utility bills. The 18-month, privately funded program started in February and involves 125 people in Stockton. It is one of the few experiments testing the concept of “universal basic income,” an old idea getting new attention from Democrats seeking the 2020 presidential nomination.

A bit risky, but a point of view to be examined.

Society doesn’t exactly see consuming one’s own children as an act of care. When scientists first documented filial cannibalism — the killing and eating of one’s own offspring — they were quick to label it a rare quirk of evolution. It was a tragic event that seemed maladaptive, at best. However, a study released Tuesday adds to a growing body of evidence that shows the opposite.
