Why not also have a guaranteed housing program to go w/ foodstamps? I mean walmart gets major tax relief, why not call in their tax deficit as benefits to people who need it most?
I support UBI, but a stepping stone easily could be:
Better support for freelancers/gig economy workers.
Better support for self-employed w/ regards to welfare/health.
Jobs guarantee.
Single-payer health.
Housing assistance, esp. in times of dire need (job transition).
Free college education and retraining assistance (maybe gov't grants for dev bootcamps and similar programs).
UBI makes sense in that you get rid of a lot of bureacracy but I don't think we're politically ready just yet. I think after we get M4A and college as a 'right', then we will be a lot closer, plus a lot more genz and millenials will be voting and increasing the progressive voice in D.C.
