You can get a studio in Dallas for $600. $200 for ramen and eggs. $200 for whatever. **** a car and gas. You don’t need to get to work.
And you could not live in a van doing odd jobs without UBI. Your van would break down you’d be strapped to your location.
Do you still live with your parents? It seems like you can’t distinguish being poor and being dead broke. It’s like you don’t get how liberating it would be to remove dead broke from the possibilities. Having a little money is so much different than having no money. UBI would remove so much fear from so many people’s lives.
