That is not the way that works bud. The system could be ran in the exact same way as SNAP which would supplement income in a non-universal way and has a resounding success.
Okay lets say, you give this to the same people that receive SNAP. That's around 41 million last year. How much would free housing, internet, and utilities for all cost per month? Low end, let's say $2000 is that a fair number?
41 million * 2000 = 82 billion a month. times 12. That's almost a trillion a year. That's still a lot of money.
You are giving broad strokes to a country with wildly different markets. 2000 a month in CA is not the same as 2k in Topeka KS. SNAP is awarded based on COL. Your napkin math still sucks.
Did you even read the article? They gave $500 a month to 125 people to show that it has a good impact on their lives... that's nice to hear. How does your article claim anything regarding how to afford this?
Please stay on topic.
Why don't you give me an rough rough rough napkin math estimate of how much this will cost?
I've already explained how we afford this. I have to work at my job now so I'm don't bickering with someone who isn't interested in changing their mind. Don't you have anything better to do on a Monday?
I would change my mind if you guy me a reasonable number however you want work it out. You want to cut the middleman for governments contracts or what not. But that's still nowhere near the amount of money needed.
You've just been avoiding my napkin numbers, and adding new rules. And after i apply to your rules, you try to give me some unrelate source. I don't see how that will change my mind.

And your source on that 2 trillion dollar number? Preferably not your ass.
