Doesnt that depend on how much you would have made a week in unemployment fees. You might be better off taking that instead of UBI. At least for a while. You could make more than $1000 a month in unemployment. The only problem is it only last for a certain length of time.
While $1000 a month is better than zero a month, it doesnt seem like it would matter if its still not enough to live per month...
Why couldn't you do both? Over $2000 a month to see you through a rough patch is pretty great, and even without and unable to pay rent, $1000 keeps you able to look for jobs, clean up on a gym membership and live in your car.
It's certainly better to have $250 a week than nothing when everything turns to shit.
From what I heard, you can either get the government assistance youre already getting or UBI, but not both. I think he said that in a video...
Then it's waaaaay less expensive than fear-mongers claim.
So, basically, were back to not having enough to live...
Either it's enough to wipe out an issue which justifies the price, or it helps somewhat for a much cheaper and equally justifiable price.
Seriously, there's a massive difference between having not enough to rent and having genuinely nothing.
Sure. But both could potentially leave you homeless. You get $1000 that doesnt cover rent, then realize that after not being able to pay full rent, youre broke and have nothing else to pay the rest of the bills or get food still sucks. And still doesnt actually help much...
I'd much rather move somewhere dirt cheap and scrape by on UBI than just be broke and stealing change from fountains to get one meal a day.
It helps a lot, it's just not communism. ---
