Me neither, but relatively speaking presumably anyone on HN (as long as employed) is ok anyway. I think GP meant people who are relatively poorer/struggling anyway, since they started: > I don't know how this is possible. State pensions and universal credit went up 10% last year and will be going up another ~8% this year. (For those not in the UK: 'universal credit' is not UBI, it's state benefits - 'universal' in the sense of replacing various specialised benefits (housing, job-seeking, ...) that came before it.) i.e. if you're 'actually' struggling (not just like, stressed about money while you sit on your new sofa and watch TV comfortably warm and then open the window because you lit the fire and now you're too hot (occasionally guilty!)) then you ought to be less struggling now and going forwards than a year or so ago, I think is the point.
