That is not what needs to be done.
Understand the problem [as it relates to Education].
You let the Left-Wing destroy your education system.
When it came time to move from the 4th Level Economy to the 5th Level Economy, you couldn't do it, because your high schools and universities crank out stupid useless people with no skills, and even that wouldn't be so bad, except that it's costing a fortune, and you don't have the money to pay for it.
You should fully be 20 years into your 5th Level Economy, which is Research & Development. About 18%-20% of your GDP should be from R&D,
not Manufacturing.
Every job in Manufacturing you lost should have been replaced by R&D jobs, that paid the same....if not more money.
You should have been cranking out people with degrees in general chemistry, organic chemistry, inorganic chemistry, petro-chemistry, general physics, applied physics, quantum physics, botany, biology, micro-biology, virology, and all manner of engineers.
Instead you got a bunch of useless MBA turds who are so incompetent, they can't even handle being a shift-leader at Dominoes Pizza.

The Left-Wing, too.
Interest Inflation: when you flood a sector of the economy, like higher education, with cash and credit via government-backed Student Loans, then artificially suppress interest rates on Student Loans, you artificially inflate the cost of education.
That is the Laws of Economics in action.
If you don't like expensive degrees, then get the pseudo-federal government out of the money-lending business.

That is a false statement.
In order for the statement to have any possibility of being true, you must first define "basic income" objectively in no uncertain terms, and then you must define "the basics" objectively in no uncertain terms.

That is a psychological flaw which can be addressed with pills and lots of therapy.

Really?
Did you move to another location?
Because, if you didn't, you know, move, then you are not trying.
One of the guiding fundamentals of Life is: "
Have I done all that I can do?"
Not everyone can answer that question correctly for different reasons, sometimes low intelligence, and sometimes bias.

That's wrong.
It does not cost more, but you do spend more, which is not the same thing.

So?
You are not entitled to live on your own.
There is no "right" to personal private living space.

Your point was totally trashed.
Just because the US government says a State is "communist" and you drink the Kool-Aid® does not make it so...
...but the Kool-Aid® does give you a funky looking mustache.

And those sound like personal problems to me.....
