    Actually didn’t know that. I keep hearing about ubi experiments of like $400/mo, which is too little to survive on in the US no matter what you do.

      Yeah, people love misusing the term for “experiments” that are neither “universal” nor “basic.” The best part is when some galaxy-brain comes up with “hey, let’s have UBI but how 'bout we means-test it?” and then I just want to respond with a Syndrome meme.
