So Jack London had UBI? What is stopping someone else from doing exactly what Jack did? The government shouldn’t be a charity — that’s what charities are for.

If Charities can rescue people some of the times, then the US Government can apply those principles and rescue people all of the time. A good idea can be done by a Charity, by your neighbor, or by the US Government. It doesn't matter who does it, as long as it gets done. > What is stopping someone else from doing exactly what Jack did? Well, eventually Jack London ran into Hobo and anti-loitering laws and landed in jail. Jack London then traveled to areas without Hobo laws and anti-loitering laws. Although, the times were different. Jack London was homeless due to the depression of the 1890s, and the number of Hobos were so large that they grouped together and formed "Hobo Code" and kinda their own society. Ideally, we should never have that huge number of homeless people ever again.
