Which has what to do with basic income?

Like a limited-scope version of it

How so? I can't see any less superficial connection than that they are both about giving away money.

So you view a program that gives away money to some people and a program that gives away money to all people, as so completely unrelated as to be utterly incomparable?

Not utterly incomparable, but you seemed dismissive of implementing a BI program in SF on the basis of another social program, seemingly without regard to what is different about it.
