Thanks for laying this out.

I think UBI is an interesting concept. Its fascinating to ask oneself what they would do if they encountered a panhandler and knew they had received a check that month.

My question is around use cases. I've heard two, and I would like to know people's opinions in terms of whether or not UBI would be best to serve one, or both.

Use Case 1: UBI can help tackle poverty
Use Case 2: UBI can help tackle future joblessness brought on by automation

Obviously, the required payouts for one versus the other would be vastly different, as would the societal/economic implications.

Thoughts? I am a curious guy looking to learn all he can...THANKS!
