Did you read all these stories? Yes we have people in financial trouble but damn if they don't all keep digging the hole deeper and deeper. RVs, or any large vehicle purchase, are not wise uses of limited incomes. RVs are money pits even for those well off enough to keep them going all year.
Each story was the same, things go wrong and then they double down on making bad choices. Basic income isn't going to save these people, it might just make some less mobile, so they will be out of sight and people won't feel guilty any more.
We already transfer a fortune from the young to old in this country, doubled down on it with the prescription acts during the Bush presidency and then doubled down again with the ACA during Obama's presidency. We cannot save everyone, especially when they keep repeating the same mistakes.
Want to help those with limited money, the solution is not to give them more money. The solution is to get the government off their backs. When their income gets below a certain threshold we need to back off the taxes, fees, and similar, they pay or go to jail for or lose property for. I have no problem fixing their medical needs but the last thing that will help is to promote their continued wandering which forever prevents them from establishing themselves.
