> If it's not enough to live on for free then it's not an UBI. This is either very poor wording or just plain wrong. UBI is a cash grant policy, nothing more.

> If it's not enough to live on for free then it's not an UBI. This is either very poor wording or just plain wrong. UBI is a cash grant policy, nothing more. The intent is to increase overall standard of living of the poorest people in the US more efficiently, not to make everyone have the same high level of standard of living for free. It's a policy, not an ideology. In respect to that, I already mentioned that 12k is enough money to live but your standard of living is worse enough to be visibly felt.
