We can't even get a federal minimum wage where people can afford those things easily. Really. It most likely would be enough. Netflix is less than $20 a month. Less than $10 for certain plans. And that's it they use their own plan. Most people I know share. And you could either share with someone who has a job who can afford it, or someone on UBI where you can't split the $10 cost between the 2+ of you that use it. I don't see that as a stretch. And a game is only $60 (moving to $70) now. And they wouldn't need to get a game every month. Depending on the food they buy, they may be able to buy less or cheaper to spend a little extra on a game. Not to mention, steam can be pretty cheap, especially with their sales. And that's IF they want new games that they don't have. So, I have no doubt UBI could cover streaming services or gaming. It very easily could... And AFAIK, UBI would probably be more than federal minimum wage... If UBI is as great as people think it is, and people would be able to live off of it, then I think it would be more, right? Or is UBI going to be as pointless as minimum wage is now? --- Official King of Kings Switch FC: 7216-4417-4511 Add Me because I'll probably add you.
