Or, we can stop assuming government's efficiency and create an UBI. Because there will never be a dedicated social worker caring about your side - even if it was viable, voters would never allow that.

At the moment, voters are even less likely to back an UBI.

Yes, but once created, UBI is more stable than expecting every public servant to keep a single goalset focused on poor people.
