This is the most sensible suggestion I've heard.
Let's make Basic Income a reality and cut out the government middleman/waste from the process!
I think we should develop an online service where we pair working individuals with one or more local individuals who are currently not working or have chosen not to work. Every month, the working person gets to meet up with the non-working one to check in on them and make sure they're doing alright. Maybe even treat them to lunch just to be neighborly. Finally, at the end of their meeting, the working individual writes the other a check to cover their expenses for the month.
I think it's safe to call Basic Income a charity, or at least charitable; it's a very Christian thing.
