Also lots of people who have never held a job in their life (most of the extremely rich) or have held "consulting jobs" etc, have alot of input (even if mainly with their money).

The people who actually have had to work for a living and survive based on the money they have coming in, should certainly have a say in the conversation.

I'm mostly pro-UBI as long as it's fair and there is a good advantage to still working (at least till we automate enough so that most don't need to work). I'm pro free (and available) health care for everyone for sure.

Problem with UBI is until we fix other things (like insane rental prices and the fact they go up and up the more money people have available to them) UBI might not help that much. Landlords would probably just increase rent prices to a point where they get all the UBI and everyone still has to work as many hours just to live.

We need SOME form of base standard of living/cost that can be used fairly evenly across the country (with exceptions near water/beaches etc), first before UBI could really work, either that or it would have to be based on living costs for each area etc.

I WOULD 100% support getting some form of UBI for anyone who is disabled, elderly (55 or older instead of freaking 62) or has already worked at least 20 hours a week for 30 years or more...which in some cases could include people under 50).

That really should be a push first in my opinion, since the current system is not going to work, and many of those people have no other options.
