Minor correction; pandemic financial aid for individuals has been conditional on hardship. The PPP on the other hand just required businesses to pinky swear that they'd retain or bring back employees. Then the "loans" were completely forgiven.

"often been conditional" was what I wrote. And PPP isn't really relevant to a discussion of basic income, anyways!
