Don't forget pay their college loans back at the same time. I get the TV had like 5 channels, and there was no internet, but things like food insecurity and homelessness just weren't as big of issues back then.

Exactly. Even working people considered "poor" by the standards of the time probably at least rented a detached house.

As for UBI, I think there should be strings attached, but overall I've seen enough evidence to think the concept can work. Especially after the AI industrial revolution, where most of the workforce will be unemployed. I get compromises like rehab/therapy for addicts so the money isn't flushed into the black market or a verifiable monthly commitment of hours to community service (even if it's just talking to old people in a home or adopting a street). People need two things: hope and a purpose.
