I wasn’t asking those questions as a gotcha, when we talk about this stuff I like to think through how the implementation would look.
For UBI the federal government would pay it. It would be perpetual. If someone wasn’t receiving the payment presumably they could file a suit, although it would seem unlikely to be an issue since it’s pretty straightforward. Unlike means tested benefits, it’s not complicated to determine who would be a recipient.
Who would pay you UBI? For how long? What can be done if they take it away?
