Do you really think everyone of the 325 million will be a recipient of the $10k income, or perhaps only the ones that earn the least? Is this a proposal any sane advocate of UBI has put forward, or are you perhaps strawmanning a slight bit?

I am not necessarily in agreement with everything UBI related, but adding noise to the conversation isn't going to get us to any insights any quicker.




If it's only for poor people it's not UBI. It's just a less restricted form of welfare.


Not to be glib but _Universal_ rather implies something.


Sure universal does imply everyone. However just because on paper someone recieved $10k that does necessarily translate into an expenditure or disbursement.
