And this doesn't mean funding food banks.

That doesn't pay the rent, clothe the kids, …

The problem of one who is starving is not that they are eating too much, it is that they do not have enough to eat.

The problem of one who is poor is not that they are spending too much, it is that they do not have enough to spend.

This isn't rhetorical. Give me a number. How much of my life am I allowed to rest before I have rightly earned death by starvation? Clearly detractors of UBI think it is less than 100%, so where is the line?

Unpaid labor is still labor. Just because something doesn't generate revenue, that doesn't mean it isn't worth doing, nor does it mean that anyone who chooses to spend their life doing it deserves to starve.
