What happens to people who need assistance otherwise today? The answer depends on where in the world you are. In third world countries and the US the answer is: ”you should have spent your money better”, and in developed countries other than the US it’s: “we’ve got you back” UBI isn’t supposed to change that. It’s about making BI universal.

If the rent isn't paid directly any longer but the money is given to the person instead and they decide they'd rather buy fun things instead of paying rent, and we're saying "we've got your back", we're going to pay for the exact same social programs we have today and UBI on top.
