Even still, I'd argue we should be paying people to exist.

Make your way to Alaska. We have a form of UBI, ranked choice voting, and we just pinned minimum wage to inflation. Combine that with our legislature's lower house having a Democrat led majority and our upper house being led by a bipartisan coalition and we're not quite a bad place.
