I agree that we need to preserve and promote income mobility. I think we can preserve it by repealing regulations and taxes, allowing a strong economy.
For promoting income mobility, I'm not opposed to some UBI. The question is, how much?

Hmm, health care and putting a cap on spiraling education costs would be a good start, but a lot of that is kind of out of the scope of what crypto can do, unfortunately. Either way I don't think it makes sense to set an arbitrary target since there are individual issues we can talk about with more specificity which could lead to actual improvements in people's lives. (But not here, since there are probably better threads for that already out there.)
One thing that crypto can do, however, is change the way we talk about the issues on a day to day basis, which imo is it's real power for change. I feel like a lot of people right now don't really have a good grasp on how economic and political systems work, and a lot of it is due to the fact that the technology we use everyday is based on a fantasy where everything is free and non-negotiated. With crypto, though, you can embed the act of trading and voting into our daily routines. And the hope is that given these experiences, people will just get better at being better citizens of the societies that they're a part of.
The only thing government can do to lower healthcare costs is to deregulate. Anything else is a wealth-redistributive scheme.
