Larger and larger until we're just flat out testing UBI is fine by me. If you want to test UBI, there's no better way than implementing UBI.

Sure, if you want to live on $1,000/month, go for it. I’ll be earning more than that though so I can travel more and do other stuff.

Maybe you’ll get bored and spend some of your time doing something productive, or maybe not, and that’s OK too.
