It's not enough to live off it, so it's not a UBI.
- logfromblammo 8y agoFor the subsistence hunter-gatherers that usually barter, it is enough to soften the blow of a lean year, and a nice bonus in a fat year. For everyone else, it represents part of a new chainsaw, or snow machine, or set of fur traps, or some other vital tool of their trade or side-hustle that might be otherwise inaccessible without financing. The point is that everyone gets it, and it is very possible to examine how people spend it, and why they chose to spend it that way. Extrapolation can provide some limited insights as to what might happen if everyone got more in total, at more frequent intervals.
