The U.S. Labor Department has sued Oracle America Inc, alleging that the technology company systematically paid its white, male employees more than other workers and unlawfully favored Asian applicants in its recruiting and hiring efforts.
The department in a complaint filed with an administrative judge in Washington said the company was prohibited from engaging in racial discrimination given the hundreds of millions of dollars it receives as a contractor with the federal government.

The basic income idea I think is the best possible method. It would eliminate a ton of bureaucracy and give people the freedom to improve their lives without fear of repercussions. Currently welfare recipients are in the double trap of poverty and welfare. Being poor makes it harder to improve your life, and being on welfare means getting a crap job might actually make you lose money and make the month to month harder. Basic income would also create massive liquidity since pretty much all of it will be injected back into the economy as rent, food, and bills.
