I don’t think there a good reason to abbreviate EITC here given that it’s not a common abbreviation and not spelled out.
In any caseearned income tax credit is not the only way to provide government welfare. There’s welfare for the unemployed. The key difference of UBI is that the welfare that unemployed get doesn’t come with a requirement of them searching work and accepting job offers.
Arguing that time for children is important is a different argument then that having enough food is important.
There is clear evidence that malnutrition keeps cognitive ability down but I’m not aware of clear evidence that parents having time for children is predictive of adult cognitive capacity.
That’s very fair (on all counts). I have no studies to show, but would be surprised if it turned out that parental time and stress weren’t correlated with childhood nutrition quality, though that’s a very weak claim on my part.
