This may be slightly on a tangent, but how would UBI be distributed to the homeless - esp. people who have no address or documents or identification of any kind?
Is step one everyone needs a national ID in order to receive UBI?
- jpindar 9y agoI assume it would be the same as any kind of government benefit. Many homeless and unbanked people now get various forms of benefits via a card that functions like a prepaid debit card.
- PeterisP 9y agoA national ID makes it much simpler and more practical, so probably yes, but it's not that big of a deal as only a handful of countries don't have a usable form of national ID (some have usable ID cards, some have passports for everyone, etc). In this issue, as with many others, USA is an exception that has problems that almost noone else in the world has.
