I think that minimum wage being a livable salary, is less complicated.

I imagine that's part of their point? At least that is how I took it.

UBI could be even less complicated. If everyone were guaranteed a livable income, a minimum wage might not even be necessary.

I like Scott Galloway's take: SPEAK THEIR LANGUAGE!

Call UBI a negative tax and Republican voters will listen.

Just enough to pay rent and utilities. Then only corporations will own property.
