> In the longer term, complete sustenance may become trivial. This can already be done easily with the right mindset. We do not need any more technical advancements to achieve this goal. Water is cheap. Agriculture technology is already amazing. Food can be as little as a few dollars a day if you buy cheap foods (beans, rice, bread, ect). Its possible to live rather well on $300 a month or $3600 a year if you live in the right location, and live within your means. Heck, most of the world already does this. But the problem to living like this in in america is our wealth drives up the cost of certain inherently supply limited resources. The biggest ones being those resources which are tied to land. And the biggest example being shelter. Shelter prices are mainly determined by people 'one upping' each other. Competing with each other. Given these obstacles, the biggest beneficiary of UBI may not be the common person, but land owners. Building skyscrapers is a great partial solution to the problem, but resistance is everywhere.
