They are going to have to gatekeep who can join, to balance out the givers and takers. Otherwise if a flood of takers join first, the givers are never going to join up.
Probably some form of waiting list, with their back account monitoring in place.
11.6% of US is below the poverty line. They said anyone up to 200% above poverty line should never give, and only get a net benefit from this program.
That's ball park 60 million people who have absolutely 100% positive incentives to join, no down side. So any "givers" would get totally drowned out if they ever needed to take a slice of the pie, so they are going to have to come up with some average income goal, segment groups, or give preference to givers, or something.
Not saying it wont work, but the population rush for free money may be hard to manage
