A new PBO report shows Canada could halve basic income costs using the economic family model while reducing poverty significantly.

    Perhaps we could do something like saying UBI is paid out annually and only given the day before taxes are due to be paid in order to minimize the amount of time this money is floating out there

    The usual “source income deductions” (from paychecks) works fine with UBI.

      I guess by that you were trying to explain the same idea as https://programming.dev/post/30075435/16842138 above. If that’s right then I agree - that resolves the float issue.
