or understood a comment. oh wait I did read the article.
And yet you still don’t understand the concept of guaranteed basic income. It’s not called “conditional basic income”, “the last income you’ll ever get”, nor is it called “universal basic income”. The article doesn’t even mention universal once.
ah ok. that is my mistake then. I usually assume many of these are words for the same thing which I think of as universal basic income. I think we will see slight improvements from non universal things as we always have with social safety nets but we will see incredible things with a universal one as it changes the whole mindset of people on what they can do.
