Can we at least have a UBI for people that want to do some good Like idk apply to the Gov, say what you want to work on, and so long as you can prove progress you'll get the $$ to support yourself while you do it Why don't we subsidise doing good things?

Also, this wouldn't be UBI, since the unconditional bit wouldn't be there. That would just be a basic income, or a normal minimum wage income, really.

The overhead of applying for a grant and following up tends to limit this kind of activity. Not really practical for employing one person for a 40 hour week.

Well we already have welfare programs that have checks, I'm just thinking if we added an extra criteria for eligibility that was, in simplest terms, 'wanting to do good stuff', that'd be helpful

A non-profit can serve this purpose. There are programs that offer stipends, like AmeriCorps, which lets young folks work on community service projects. My own non-profit aims to do this: individuals pick their own projects, freely, and get free housing and food (but not $).
