But let me tell you something: the way #BasicIncome has been marketed to people is as a check in the mail from the government. This method comes with the following pitfalls:

1. Conditions. The government will likely make your #basicincome conditional on what you post on social media. Offend the powers that be? No basic income for you.

2. Fraud. As mentioned in our series here, only @groupincome.org gives a strong guarantee that there will be no fraud: groupincome.org/2025/06/no-e...

They don't do that for Social Security, Greg. UBI is even more universal. Good luck attaching such a condition to something that everyone gets. It's easy to do that kind of thing for targeted welfare, not a universal program. It would piss everyone off.
