People with unconditional basic income reach for the key. They are free to think about things beyond their basic needs.

In the massive universal basic income experiment in Kenya, villages with UBI saw a 15% boost to the amount of money in the local economy. It would be fair to assume this could increase inflation, but it DID NOT.

If it's implemented from the top down, it's not a UBI. The U stands for either universal or unconditional, depending upon whom you ask, but they both amount to the same thing: the government gets no say in whether you get it or how you spend it. They're just a pass-through.

UBI is not "paying people to do nothing." That's welfare, unemployment, etc. With those, you have to continue not to work or earn to keep receiving the benefits.

UBI doesn't subsidize poverty.

And yes, what has been found is that subsidizing those things does in fact lead to more of them.
So your adage is right, but your interpretation is flawed.

It won’t work. If you tax something you make it more expensive and therefore you get less of it. If you subsidize something you make it cheaper and you get more of it. UBI subsidizes poverty, making it less costly. It will result in more poverty — mark my words!!

Welfare is the opposite of UBI. If you don't understand that, you don't understand UBI.

He's been all over social media pushing this hard. He's also working on it behind the scenes, I believe. Trust me, he knows as well as any of us that this is a huge opportunity not only for UBI, but to save countless lives. This is his prime focus right now, I guarantee you.

I'm so incredibly thankful for, and inspired by, the early supporters - visionaries, really - who've joined us in making the campaign a success. As I

This country is tearing itself apart.
What is it that makes us deceive each other? What makes us endlessly insecure in our sense of self worth? Why do we see each other as opponents? What are we so ashamed of?
