   I don't know what's so hard to understand about this, but unconditional basic income is not about being 100% of the income you want to use to buy everything you want. It's about preventing anyone from ever having less than the amount of the #basicincome, and never having nothing.

     Yup. Here’s a proposition, highly debatable, curious what you think:

     Universal income is the economic value the state unconditionally places on each human life. If UBI is zero, then that’s tantamount to saying that the intrinsic value of a human life is zero.
