>A Universal Basic Income is not necessarily paid to everyone, at least not directly. A UBI means a certain income level is guaranteed, if you are earning more than the guaranteed level, you may not be given anything in addition.
Well that is fucked up? They dont call it a "UNIVERSAL" basic income.

Universal or bust. Everyone or no-one imo. It's a universal basic income afterall. Not a conditional basic income.
