    I have no idea what someone in rural Appalachia, or the wastelands of Detroit might come up with, if they had a UBI and the gumption to make something... but I sure as hell want to see it! I want them to do something they are proud of, and that makes even more money, so they aren't totally reliant on the UBI.

NASCAR.

And on a serious note? Environmental Tourism is starting to be a thing. People want to go to West Virginia because there are dark skies, mountains, pretty trees and streams and creaks etc. Someone in WV woke up one morning and realized the natural beauty of the place is something they can sell.

Maybe with a UBI more people can travel and look at stuff.
