While I was homeless I noticed how few people really made a difference. There are some, but you figure out pretty quickly which people to go to (and which to avoid).

I think money management skills are going to be needed even more (but just receiving a deposit doesn't teach you how to master your money).

Gandhi said something to the effect that you can't make a system so perfect that the people in it need not still try to be good people. I've also heard it said that "Even God hesitates to offer anything but bread to the hungry man." Will UBI solve the human condition? No. But it seems like a workable possible solution to how to handle rampant and permanent unemployment due to advancing automation. Something worth trying. ;-)
