Well since we are all pretty much software guys here and since this is HACKER news: Wouldn't it be wise for some among us to try to build a simulation of what would happen in the US economy given a Basic Income? That's what I propose. I believe we have enough historical, economic, and census data to at least "play out" a few different ways something like this could go down. It would require taking into consideration plenty of factors and it would be a bit of work but in the end it could also potentially be history-altering itself. Let's make it open source to avoid any possible corruption though. ;)
