UBI is far from the only way to do a single transfer, and it certainly can be simple (from the perspective of actually running it, if not from the politics perspective). But I was not suggesting a change to the benefits system in CA. I was suggesting using whatever existing benefits programs there are (of which I'm sure CA has many), rather than trying to create a new one. California has _lots_ of ways of getting money to poor people, including changing the tax structure. There is no need to create a completely novel, complicated way of getting them more money.
