I don’t know how relevant this is now, but here’s a link to another post where I expressed my thoughts on what kind of pitfalls you might most likely face – https://lemmy.world/post/36867409

By the way, what is this phenomenon on Lemmy? Let’s say people are reluctant to read and comment on old posts published just a couple of days or a week ago, but with new ones, it’s a completely different story. What kind of psychology is this? Or it seemed to me?

    I think The Expanse had a decent “UBI” model, Basic

    It covers just enough food-like substance with the correct macros for a human, everyone had an apartment and access to the internet and tv channels. I think healthcare was included to a point. That’s it. You could survive on it without much suffering.

    If you wanted more, you had to go to school and work.

      It’s been a while, so forgive me if I’m wrong, but wasn’t a big part of that universe the droves of people on Earth that couldn’t afford to survive or house themselves even with UBI?

        They did survive, but it was kinda miserable, because you had zero budget for anything except watching ad-infested TV.
