Aside: There is a difference in how much it should be (for basic essentials, as is supposed to be the reason for it) vs what we want it to be (so we don't have to work for anything and can enjoy our own time). We're not far enough along in the process to be able to do option number two, but option number one should have been implemented years and years ago. It will take time, (and probably severe threat to the rich's wallets) to fully implement a system of UBI that takes away the need for work for compensation globally or even nationally.
