The average cost of living right now in the United States is $2500-$3500 per month, the poverty increase rate has gone up by %4 in just two years. Universal Basic Income will provide that safety net if monthly income does not suffice the cost of living.

With a Universal Basic Income would give the people more of an incentive to work, reduce poverty, reduce the wage gap, as well as declining the amount of income discrimination.

We already have so many gov. programs, why not sum them into one. have basic income & allow people to act for themselves.

Finland ran a universal income study between the years 2017-2018 by giving 2000 unemployed people a universal income of around 560 euros a month. Compared to another group of around 178,000 people on unemployment benefits the 2000 unemployed worked an average of six more days than the others.

Finland's 2 year randomized partial basic income study found no negative effects on employment, but significant benefits.
