(None of that patented seeds for farming). Some level of sustainable land distribution (otherwise land lords suck all that UBI money anyway) One could say SF is on average quite wealthy, but very broken. Even a UBI of $1000/month doesn’t do jack shit there until you solve the housing problem. Basically people need to have good nutrition, have a roof over their head (feel secure), be autonomous and have some sort of self worth (mostly comes from doing some sort of work that creates value). All without destroying the planet (which we’re doing at an accelerated pace) UBI doesn’t necessarily guarantee all those conditions are met.
