Jack Dorsey is giving Andrew Yang $5M to build the case for a basic income
UBI should cover government-regulated and government-provided essentials to living.<p>Ex.:<p>* Government housing: $500<p>* Government basic food package - daily (1500kcal): $300<p>* x kJ electricity, x m3 water, x m3 gas, x bps internet connection: $500<p>* Clothing, hygiene, cleaning supplies: $50<p>* Universal healthcare: free (and free condoms)<p>* Free education (from abc to PHD)<p>This is not a comprehensive list, or even the right values, however you can guarantee a base-level of what is &quot;living with dignity&quot; and apt to participate in the democracy.<p>I doubt you&#x27;d have too many people deciding to live without a job. It&#x27;s not the best life, but you can survive with some human dignity. Many around the world live with much less.<p>UBI isn&#x27;t the American Dream, it&#x27;s the safety net.
