Basic Income caused crime to drop by 40% and strengthened workforce?
There ought to be a name for a minimal UBI that can allow people who are normally just scraping by to bridge short periods of unemployment, unexpected expenses etc. £4K wouldn&#x27;t be much for the average Hacker News reader, but for people on minimum wage it could make a real difference.  You can&#x27;t really call this &quot;Basic Income&quot; though, because that term comes with the build in assumption that it&#x27;s enough for a person to live pretty comfortably.  I&#x27;ve been thinking of this as a &quot;Really Basic Basic Income&quot; (&quot;RBBI&quot;?), but nobody seems to be talking about such a thing.
