    it’s not really meant to be lived off of.

    By definition it is, barely. That’s why it’s called “basic.” A subsidy too small to cover even minimal living expenses would just be “UI.”

      Actually didn’t know that. I keep hearing about ubi experiments of like $400/mo, which is too little to survive on in the US no matter what you do.
