   Wow, this is a very popular poll! Lots of responses.

   I think what the comments show is that there are a lot of ideas and designs for how UBI could work.

   I think the poll response shows that a lot of people want it to work.

   I'm a qualified yes. I think all people have a right to the basics: food, shelter, education, and so on. UBI could do that. If UBI became a substitute for providing these to people, I'd be opposed.

   Thanks everyone for responses!

     @brindy we have public healthcare in Canada, for example. Getting a monthly cash allotment, but no public healthcare, wouldn't be OK with me.

     @evan that seems like a contradictory position?

     Isn’t that the intent of UBI, to provide the basics? Then some folk will need more (eg disabled), it should not replace that.
