The profit incentive is toxic to creativity. Try to imagine how much cultural value is lost every single day because of no UBI and having to worry about a survival job.

    No question that it's a lot. The cost of a UBI would probably be more though, ($500/month/capita, maybe? $ 2.1 trillion per annum for the USA).

    There isn't a set in stone amount of UBI for it to be called that. Even $100/mo would be UBI.

    the "B" stands for basic, as in basic needs, $100/mo would not cover the average americans rent, let alone other basic needs. You're looking for Universal stipend/Guarenteed Minimum Income/Citizens dividend or other related concept
