    A lot is confusing.

    What issue does it solve to give Elon Musk $500?

    How it’s supposed to be kept a livable wage from that kind of proposed UBI without working salary when UBI+Minimum wage would result in the most common income, making automatically just UBI way below the minimum for a decent living in that society?

    How does a more convoluted way of giving money solves any of the issues that arises from just giving money until a threshold?

    Why it makes any sense to make it like that anyway?

    I call an UBI the law that ensures that there is an Universal Basic Income. So if we set out universal basic income in 500€, no person in this country will have less than 500€ a month, simple as that.

    And anyway that has severe issues. So I really think that we should be “giving jobs”, by reducing working hours of everyone, instead of money.

      You can call it UBI but that’s not what anyone else means by UBI, so you’re just confusing the debate by calling it that.
