> Nobody can ever answer the question of "What happens when someone blows their UBI and cant afford to eat?" Will we let them starve?

I've answered it a few times in comment sections such as this one, but I can do it again.

If someone cannot meet their needs in a situation where they have a BI that's substantial compared to the cost of essentials, they clearly need more help, and I don't think they are undeserving of more help, but I think circumstance has demonstrated that the help they need is not simply more cash. Assistance at that point should take other forms and address the underlying issues.
