No, the CERB is not going to turn into a monthly universal $2K cheque.

1) That& #39;s a bad idea because it ignores differing needs.

2) do the math, lol

No, Spain has not implemented a UBI. They have indicated they "hope" to.

Finally, there are lots of positive lessons to be learned from the basic income debate

1) dollars to families in need provide a huge social gain.
2) simplifying and making more humane benefit access points is crucial
3) work incentives and phase out rates need attention.

...after reading @ArmineYalnizyan let me amend (1) to say "resources to families in need". Dollars or services!

Also, watch for the BC Basic Income expert report later this year from @LindsayTedds David Green and Rhys Kesselman.
