I guess the ship has sailed, but it's too bad these limited programs have taken over the term 'basic-income', which was supposed to refer to an unconditional grant for everyone based on cost of living. It's a similar sentiment, but really not the same thing when you give a few thousand people $500 versus giving a million people $2500 or $3000 or pick your much higher than $500 number. Because no one can live on $500 in the US and there are a lot more than a few thousand families suffering. I feel like the only really humane thing to do is to have a livable wage as a floor. But also it seems like we will need a new type of high-tech money to make that work.
