Well this is just the very first little baby step and would outline how we’d approach UBI. It isn’t necessarily going to lead to a usable widespread solution anytime soon… but hey, positive motion!
Positive motion indeed. Just having the government acknowledge UBI as a potential positive thing is good imo. We still don’t even have universal dental care so realistically UBI is a long way off, but I like that it’s being talked about.
There’s the thing though - you know how drug trials get killed because they’re having too many bad effects? Experimental UBI projects have literally gotten killed off because they were so wildly effective across the board that certain groups lobbied to stop them
Once a “white”, “wealthy”, Western country (that can’t have an “accidental regime change”) actually tries out the idea at scale, the winds are likely to change pretty quick

And as with all things that help average people, like the proposed universal dental, it will be killed the instant the conservacrooks get back in
Oh absolutely, I’m just super jazzed that this is a serious conversation that we are having, and that there is real movement on it (however small)
