I voted yes, because it's the right step in the right direction, but I don't think it's the destination.

Eventually, I think there shouldn't be a need for a UBI because all basic needs should just be met at no cost.

Need a house? You get one for free that is big enough to meet your needs. And it's your house, not a government-owned house that you can stay in.

Have a kid or get married? Trade in your house for a bigger one.

You live in a city and need to travel? You've got well built and completely free buses, light rail, etc.

You live outside a city and need to travel? You get a free car that is basic and meets your needs.

Hungry? Go to the government grocery and get some. No checkouts. Just bag them up and take them home.

You want something beyond your basic needs, like a vacation home, or a fancier car, or a boat? That's on you. You have to pay for that.

Any developed country could provide this with appropriate taxation on the wealthiest.

But until then, a UBI could get us closer.
