It sounds ridiculous (I can't wait to read the comments). But it's a major step toward that future world I dreamed of as a kid. Instantly, no more poverty.
Basic Income is a win-win all around.The single Mom working multiple jobs will have some options. Maybe more parents can avoid daycare and raise their own kids (that's our future). Young folks could stay in (or go back to) school. I have difficulty identifying negatives.

Here is a big negative = there is no incentive to work in your program. If you provide food and housing to everyone, we will have what we have currently = people that have a sense of entitlement and no ambition to support themselves.
Are you suggesting single moms deserve some kind of pass in life? Were they all raped, beaten by there spouse, abandoned? The ones I know of were too stupid or lazy to practice birth control while having sex (our niece got knocked up in her parents driveway, one of our son's friends has had 3 abortions and 2 kids by 2 different guys), and I have known of a few moms that cheated on their husbands and caused a divorce... Oh you poor things, everyone else should take care of you!
Kids could stay home in school and play video games all night, just think how much they can learn that won't be used to support themselves.
great plan = STOCK UP ON AMMO!
