Hello I'm thinking about how I can do the cool things my friends are doing (largely cosplay) withoutspendingg large amounts of limited resources on things I don't need. Like cosplay for me largely feels like it's about buying the right clothes and props, when there's probably more to it than having and wearing a costume that fits. Maybe I should try to socialize with tailors and makers instead of just sitting at home staring at my beautiful hoard of supplies?Like degrowth I want to interpret it as gaining skills while decreasing resource usage.

Universal Basic Services (UBS) is an alternative case to UBI.

Under UBS, the provision of free public services must go beyond health or education to cover other basic necessities (e.g., housing, care, transport, information, nutrition).

UBS can be more egalitarian with a strong redistributive performance and impact on income inequalities.

UBS can also be more sustainable by decarbonizing the economy in a just way - rather than disproportionally loading the costs on the lower income brackets - and by supporting sustainable consumption corridors.
