> 1) As defined above, this is horribly inefficient and expensive. I, a software engineer in Silicon Valley, would receive this $10k. How does this benefit society? I already make over $100k; I don't need additional income support. So give basic income only to people doing less than the basic income, and take it away once you are doing more. That's how it's been implemented in some countries, and I don't see any reason not to follow this scheme.
