Guys, at this rate I don't think the revolution's going to happen anytime soon.

Also, I think rent caps or something need to be introduced as well. I worry about landlords just assuming you have an extra 2,000 on you and then taking it.

But implemented with the right protections, I would love UBI.

UBI gives you "moving expense money". Greedy landlords gives builders incentive to build more to give you alternatives. If you don't want to work, then moving to smaller communities is a more affordable choice, and you can move before you have a job lined up. A problem with welfare/UI is not just that any job income get's clawed back at 50%, but you need to stay close to the same welfare office to keep getting benefits.
