UBIs and SYSTEMATICS
Gail says more debt is needed. This program would raise debt. She also recommends extending the current, unsustainable debt bubble for as long as possible.That might work better with a variant of UBI: Money might be given for community resilience projects that are easy to monitor and almost fail safe. Maintaining or expanding an urban forestry would seem to offer relatively little harm, and possibly significant good. Another even better project, more suited to coastal settlements, might be marine sanctuaries. You need to pay specialists to monitor and report on the health and management of the sanctuaries. Since the sanctuaries improve fisheries, you get free food out of the expenditure to set up the sanctuary. The satellite technology, among other kinds, already exists that can help monitor forestry and fishery health. Giving people the money directly means they'll spend it in an unsystematic way. Allotting the money to land and ocean (and community) systems that can be measured and be relatively sure to create benefits should be more systematic and constructive?
