minus-squarecentof@lemm.eelinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up1arrow-down2·edit-29 months ago numbers dont lie But assumptions do. There is no set rule, that a UBI has to be $1000/mo. Even at $100 dollars it would be a huge help to many of us. That would make it ~$1/3 trillion / yr. Which would be 5% of the FY 2022 US Budget.
