You&#x27;re missing the point and reading thing that I didn&#x27;t write. People don&#x27;t want your charity. They want a chance to earn a living.<p>When you give people everything they need to subsist, but nothing to do, it doesn&#x27;t give them &quot;freedom&quot;. It creates dependency.<p>Nobody in Silicon Valley has basic income. They have ripe opportunity for productive employment. That&#x27;s the safety net that facilitates risk.
