    You’re one of those idiots who thinks UBI would make prices go up to cancel it out, aren’t you? FYI, that’s actually not how it works.

      Just a side note, if you want people to even consider your point of view, don’t call them idiots. Off to blocklist you go! Bye.

        Artificially inflating prices to cancel out UBI would create economic incentive to undercut those corporations in a free market.

        Government intervention could also be used in a less free market to ensure subsistence items aren’t artificially inflated, after that who cares if some company inflates their price? Go work if you want a new shiny thing.

        You know what’s really good? Having a safety net to prevent the lowest suffering class of our society dying from things that we’ve been able to prevent for decades.

        Having reduced crime because people aren’t fighting over scraps.

        Having more mobility in society so people can pursure careers and education that aligns with their own self fulfilment goals.

        Stop fighting against a better world for all of us please.
