The hope is that policies like these can help people struggling just to survive and allow them to get on their feet, be entrepreneurial and be more creative.

Quote verified via web search. Multiple sources (CNBC, Yahoo Finance, IBTimes, August 2017) confirm Richard Branson wrote this in his Virgin blog post about experimenting with universal basic income after meeting with The Elders in Finland. The original quote begins with "The hope is that" which was missing — corrected the quote text. Vote direction "for" on "Implement a universal basic income" correctly aligns with Branson's expressed support for UBI. Source URL (virgin.com/richard-branson/experimenting-universal-basic-income) is the primary source (Branson's own blog) but could not be directly fetched due to access restrictions; however, multiple secondary sources quoting the same article confirm the content.
