They're doing basic income trials in Oakland already
The crazy thing is that they are being "socialistic" but still can't get rid of "control"
Giving people X amount of money and still having goods and services "cost money" will eventually negate the purpose. Family A could be saving $100 a month, and family B could be saving $10 a month.
What they ought to do is give them X amount of dollars worth of subsidies (free house or free food) and see how they fare/how much they use. IE: If Family A has better or worse spending habits, uses more electricity, etc. They can use that data to see what an appropriate amount of "money" would be to give citizens.
