As you mentioned US-wide median, it got me thinking. I wonder if big and diverse territory wide median would work. I'm not that familiar with US state-to-state median differences. But in EU absolute median could differ 3x from country to country. Existing salary laws already create a lot of opportunities for arbitraging. E.g. truckers and handymen working in expensive, living out of cars or cheapest houses they can find and then spending their time off (as well as paying taxes) in cheap countries. Country-adjusted UBI could make this even worse. While EU-wide UBI median would create it's own share of issues. Any idea is doable if you throw enough propaganda and/or gunpower behind it :)
