There is a reason we usually prefix BI with universal. No, there are few programs that are legitimately universal, but every instance of non-universality you describe just describes a bureaucratic overhead nightmare that severely cripples any potential efficiency of a public works project.
The jump is not from anarchy to UBI. It is from conditional basic income to unconditional.
Also, I might be mixing up my district nines and section eights. I wonder why...
No, they aren't. Presumably, this is intended to refer to Social Security, which is not at all like a basic income (even aside from age):
1) Eligibility to receive benefits at all isn't unconditional (again, even discounting age), its based on qualifying contributions -- your own or someone else's -- and other factors.
2) The level of benefits if you are eligible isn't constant, but varies based on the same factors that go into eligibility.
> or that anyone on unemployment is getting a temporary basic income
Unemployment insurance is also not like basic income, as the benefit level as controlled by qualifying income in the preceding period.
> or that if you ignore the beuracratic overhead and injustice of welfare then food stamps + section 9 + the free electric programs sum to a near basic income
You probably mean section 8 housing vouchers, but, again, nothing like a basic income; all of those are conditional program with both means and behavioral tests (and in many cases aren't fungible benefits, so they also have use restrictions).
