    UBI has come to mean not Universal and just guaranteed a minimum income…. It’s not a bad thing but it isn’t UBI.

    In practice the same as the UK had in the 80s and still does to some extent. Difference being guaranteed housing, childcare payments , school meals, access to education/ HE . Not just an arbitrary figure which may or may not cover your individual needs and may or may not keep up with inflation.
