Oh, yes, I understand that as the same thing - giving money to people (negative taxes) and building them infrastructure (that they don’t need to pay for as there isn’t a profit invective).
And absolutely the second thing, building infrastructure for the people, is way better and more efficient. I don’t need as much money/basic income to live in a world with good public transport, healthcare, housing, etc.
I’m not even a big advocate for money as a concept going forward actually.
Sorry if I misunderstood you (not a native speaker either), we are thinking the same thing, the function of basic income now (overcoming living costs greatly influenced by profit margins) is not the same as what it’s function would be if companies had less power over people.
