- gamegoblin 6y agoI believe what OP is getting at is you need a significant portion of a community to be receiving UBI to truly transform the local economy. To use an example the Yang often uses: It may not be economically viable to set up a bakery in some small dying town. But if everyone in that town were receiving UBI, it might become viable, due to a change in the town's spending habits.
