Seemingly the path to UBI leads to UBOF:
>The central proposition is the creation of a Universal Basic Opportunity Fund (UBOF): an effort to reimagine how society supports people to live meaningful, contributory lives.
>Its premise is simple: fund every citizen under the age of 55 with a £5,000 opportunity dividend for up to two years, taken at a time of their choosing over the course of a decade.
>The fund would initially last for ten years, with dependent children also eligible for the payment in the year a parent, or both, were receiving it.
EDIT: I didn't see the direct link to the PDF in the original article, not that it is particularly visible, the first sentence is in bold (and is not a link, and the initial part of the second sentence is also bold, but it is a link) removed initial sentence that read:
How nice of the BBC guys to provide not the source.
- GunlogAlm 9y ago> How nice of the BBC guys to provide not the source. The article's second sentence is the source - a link to the PDF - and it has been in the article since it was published.
- jaclaz 9y agoMy bad, didn't see that it was a direct link to the PDF. Correcting my post.
- GunlogAlm 9y ago:) The BBC are usually quite good with directly linking their sources, when it's reports or studies (or anything in PDF form). The Guardian are similarly good in that regard, too.
- tommorris 9y agoFor science articles, yes. That took a lot of lobbying and complaining. On law/crime articles, they don't link to legal judgments. That's partly the fault of the British legal system for not publishing a lot of that material. But there are plenty of times when it is available and it doesn't get linked to. Hypertext is a thing. One day people will work out all the amazing possibilities.
