    No not UBI, but universal necessities to live. ie food water electricity housing healthcare and for all people not just artists.

    UBI is a bandaid solution where money is taken from the government and given to corporations when governments should supply those necessities itself.

      Uni has nothing to do with corporations though?

      It’s everyone getting enough money to live comfortably

      I think it’s more efficient if people get a few hundred dollar boost every week to spend when and wherever they please, rather then stand in line and receive whatever obtuse handout the government has decided they deserve.

        For Literally everything but food the government can supply everything without standing in line. You are right though, I believe SNAP in America is a largely efficient organisation that takes an already convenient system of food distribution and allows the person to buy things at a grocery store like everybody else. I guess in society it’s also important that SNAP or other beneficiaries feel normal as well.
