So right now she is independent, but under UBI she has to beg her family? Is that what you call a success of UBI?

That's just income redistribution from the most vulnerable, right wing would love this.

She is not really independent right now. There is no way a grandma can live comfortably in one of the biggest cities in the world without massive subsidies in the form of rent control, for example.
