This would ensure that all seniors have the same opportunities and would limit social inequality. It would ensure that all seniors can participate in social activities, can get out of their homes, can afford transportation to go grocery shopping, or can go to the movies if they wish to do so. A number of them can't afford to participate in certain cultural or social activities because they don't have enough income. Their income barely covers their basic needs, such as housing, clothing and food. Their expenses come down to about that.
When people can't afford to buy food or clothing, fortunately, community organizations provide a major social safety net in our society. These organizations support the most vulnerable people and make it possible for them to maintain some quality of life.
Ultimately, basic income should be raised to reduce social inequality.
