This basic premise(MVP) exists on American Indian reservations, quasi-sovereign states. The BIA and the Tribe distributes an equal share of funds from either the government or gaming to each tribal member. As long as you can prove you are a tribe member, you get the funds.

Feel free to visit any of these reservations and see the kind of lives they live. I grew up surrounded by them in Arizona and went to school with many Native Americans in both primary & high school. It's not a great way to live and the reason so many are leaving the reservations.



I suspect that situation has more variables involved than simply a minimum basic income.


In fairness, don't most situations in life?


Most situations do not involve genocide.

And is this squalor & dysfunctionality entirely absent in reservations without significant revenue to distribute?
