You're taking on a whole new rat's nest of complex problems if you propose to push a much larger set of children into "the system."

  > You're taking on a whole new rat's nest of complex problems if you propose to push a much larger set of children into "the system." I don't propose that, both because I think the size of the problem that would be addressed this way is no larger under a mature UBI than it is today (even if UBI makes the responsibilities more clear), and because I think a mature UBI would reduce other sources of children entering the system (both by reducing the social problems which result in children ending up in the system, and making it more likely that alternate, extended-family placements which are generally preferred could be found to keep children experiencing the kinds of problems which could result in them entering the system out of the system.)

  And a whole world more if one way to increase your household UBI is to foster a child...
