Sustainability needs Deceleration needs Basic Income/Livelihood enables Declaration enables Sustainability

If we had unrestricted basis income for everyone, what would the consequences be? Would it increase freedom and equality and so dim down the ever faster accelerating times? Would it help to save the environment with its restricted resources?
