Honest question: If everyone got Universal Basic Income, no strings attached, what would YOU do with it? Re-post with your quote or drop your take below.

I don’t know. I’m nearing 70. Would it be instead of SS? If so, would it be equal to that? The question makes the mere idea appealing but I have no idea what it looks like, the amount(s?), how funded. Is there a universal view into those questions you can direct me to? Thank you.🙏

Great questions. In most U.S. UBI proposals, it would not replace Social Security. It’s usually discussed as an additional floor on top of existing benefits, though some versions do restructure parts of the system.

The amount is widely debated—common proposals range from around $500 to $1,000+ per month per adult, depending on how it’s funded and what it replaces. There is no single agreed-upon figure.
