Universal basic income mitigates tunneling, meaning that people are more able to think beyond just one focus. The need to earn survival income tends to function like blinders that block out everything else but your focus on basic needs. Until they're obtained, we can't think beyond.

In my opinion, the following thoughts provided by @yosh need to be taken into account when talking about #ubi as otherwise it might not work on a large scale.

@mkroehnert @scottsantens @yosh Yeah I agree UBI isn't enough on it's own but I think it will help people even in the short term just by looking at the studies. One thing is that even some extra money could help reduce stress for folks to have energy to fight for all the other things.
