So something like social security. Which she is already receiving.
- alkonaut 11y agoFeels like a poor kind of "social security" to have to work if you are elderly. Either something is missing in the story, like an expensive addiction, or the minimum benefits (minimum pensions or social security) are simply too low to actually allow someone to retire on.

- Lawtonfogle 11y agoShe was receiving $1200 per month if I remember correctly. Most basic income schemes I see tend to offer less than that. Perhaps this shows that basic income is not the solution we sometimes treat it as.
- kafkaesq 11y agoSocial security !== basic income. See my clarification above about this.
