> I think it's one of the problems of UBI: it can only exist in addition to all other social benefits, because it can't solve every situation appropriately.
UBI probably for some extended time into the future would require some other social benefits, but to say that it requires "all" other social benefits is simply wrong. It wouldn't take a very high level of UBI to completely displace the need for existing General Assistance programs in the US, it would take a higher level to replace SNAP and TANF.
