A single-focus site takes a just-the-facts approach to universal basic services.
“This site is dedicated to providing information and resources related to Universal Basic Services (UBS).”
UBS is different than Universal Basic Income (UBI). Although sharing similar principles with UBS (and equally capable of making conservatives howl), UBI is just that: Income. It is currency or 1s and 0s or your descriptor of choice. It is not housing, food, etc. As we’ve seen inflation bite into the value of money, it’s easy to see how UBI is a patch, not a cure.
Andrew Yang popularized UBI in his 2020 presidential run. One would hope that he’s kept up with UBI-UBS discourse since then.
