The point of UBI is that you could just live off that if you were frugal.
Everybody gets it of course, but you’d lose 10% of your current wages too. Everyone under $80k would be better off, everyone over that would be worse off.
The thing with UBI is that you’d lose all other state benefits too. Pretty much anything means tested would go and be replaced with one payment that everyone gets.
When they live off, I think they mean is that enough to where you could live on that and not work. And the answer to that is no/not well in the majority of cases.
8000 a year? That would be a huge help. Like it would alleviate almost all of my burdens.
With no other income at all?
