Can cities even afford a UBI not paid in their own currency?

This is a debate between three people running for mayor of NYC – one of the richest cities in the world – about how they can possibly afford a UBI

This is going to be an issue for mayors of a growing number of cities that are looking to make this happen.

Just another reason why a sustainable UBI can only be paid out in the city’s own currency, and a huge extra bonus, then the community can solve its problems voluntarily and democratically.

If you don’t do the work, and you don’t get your Miami Coin or NY City Coin actually used in the city it’s named after, then what do you expect to happen? This was expected:

That’s why Intercoin understands that the roadmap has to be clear. We wrote about the steps to roll out UBI in communities. and illustrated it:

Yes, it’s exactly what you’ve been talking about for a long time even before anyone else was able to see it.
