Wow imagine a UBI concept that has a barrier to entry dependent on one's merit and qualifications and stipulates that the recipient contributes a certain number of hours per week to a pursuit that generates a positive economic input. This is a brilliant idea, if only somebody had come up with this earlier.

How about instead of UBI we just get free healthcare. That'll accomplish 90% of what UBI seeks to accomplish.
It'd be funny snark if it were true, but the point is that the only qualification is to be a member of YC. Nothing else matters, including how much or little effort you put in.

Also, members of YC are members for life unless they get excluded. It doesn't matter if their company fails.
