- dragonwriter 13y agoBasic income in the form of currency is fungible and cumulative with other income, rations/allotments, as usually understood, are non-fungible (for specific goods) and usually non-cumulative with other income (that is, a "ration" means you get that much and can get no more, rather than that you get a basic amount and can buy more freely.)
