The document discusses universal basic income (UBI), which provides all citizens with a basic living wage. UBI is proposed as a way to reduce inequality and share wealth across society. It could help end extreme poverty by giving everyone a minimum income. Supporters argue UBI would allow people more freedom to try new things or work in meaningful roles. The document also outlines Rachel Gross's school assignments related to proposing a UBI system called "Equa-Pay", which was meant to promote the concept of equality.

meaningful. We should explore ideas like universal basic income —
to give everyone a cushion to try new things.” – Mark Zuckerberg
