The lady who drove a Mercedes to pick up food vouchers.

Personally I think a universal basic income would be sweet. It possibly could motivate some people to not work, but most peoples jobs are a bunch of shit anyway. People need to learn to live with less. We are going to have to anyway. If you can't live off of 25000 dollars a year without help to buy food (as the woman in the article states) you are a moron. Also sometimes these programs are just used to replace income anyway. Say you get 200$ a month on food stamps. That's 200 dollars less of your regular money that you have to spend on food (obviously you will spend money on food before anything anyway.) That just means 200 dollars more one way or another.
