I agree something should be done. I like the idea of a basic universal income that promotes people getting into the work force and/or improving the community, but it is tough to figure out how to make it work. It is even harder to sell the idea.
Currently, there are a lot of social safety nets out there that are little used, or simply poorly promoted, so the money goes unused year after year.
But that is a discussion for another thread, lest we derail this one.
