I really, really like proposals like this. They’re compassionate, efficient, and remove all the perverse incentives that come with cutting off benefits at certain thresholds. The rising popularity of UBI is an indication that there’s some appetite for this. My only worry is if a one-size fits all approach is realistic for a nation as diverse as ours. The cost of living in San Francisco is obviously very different from rural Oklahoma. Perhaps if states and cities could contribute to the benefits residents, that would help.
