I like the idea of a Universal Basic Income but running the numbers is eye opening:<p>£1,500 ~= $2,274<p>$2,274&#x2F;person&#x2F;mo * 12 mo&#x2F;yr * 300,000,000 people = $8,186,400,000,000&#x2F;yr. $8 trillion a year to provide that level of UBI to all 300,000,000ish Americans.<p>Not an inconsequential amount of money!
