It's clear that from the introduction it's intended to mean "unconditional cash payments to people so that they can meet their basic needs". That's a literal quote from the article. And this is also how UBI is commonly understood in general.
If you want to use some different definition in some contexts then that's fine. But in this context it doesn't make a lot of sense to insist on your definition as the One True Correct™ one.
- dfxm12 3y agoThat sentence doesn't suggest what you were suggesting, that UBI alone must address all of one's basic needs. The single sentence is also part of a larger article full of even more context. And this is also how UBI is commonly understood in general. Search google, search twitter. Look up Andrew Yang's "freedom dividend" platform. You'll see that it's not my definition that's in question.
