&gt;<i>You didn&#x27;t deal with question in your title, except maybe extremely indirectly. Drug dealers are in it for the money, so they&#x27;re not going to be applying for a basic income.</i><p>Well, some will do. E.g. a small time dealer, which now might be on the dole, will more likely than not apply for basic income. We&#x27;re not talking only Escobar level dealers here.<p>That said, as with terrorists, drug dealers, while more, all still a very small group in the total population.<p>And they will only be given basic income on the provision that they haven&#x27;t been caught as drug dealers anyway, so it&#x27;s not different than anybody else getting their basic income. As far as the law concerned, they&#x27;re still innocent of any crime.
