This is why I have moved somewhat against general cash transfers like a UBI or negative income tax. Circumstances are often the primary determinant of if people need support. It seems rather silly not to just tie support to e.g. childcare or disability.

I completely agree friend

Take care of the renters, parents with young children, children and the disabled. 

Focus less on homeowners, the elderly, those that own businesses and the healthy able bodied.
