If people aren’t living lay heck to paycheck, afraid of where the next meal comes from

You’re not solving the problem of the UBI being eaten up by what they already have to pay for as everything just gets a bit more pricy.

You have this VERY strange idea of what a landlord is. A landlord’s needs are already met, that’s why he has multiple properties.

… and it’s not a trivial difference. A Stimulus check is NOT UBI, it’s limited in who gets it, and it’s a one time payment, so it’s quickly spent whether on needs or wants, and then it’s gone. UBI is a ongoing payment meaning that the market will adjust to the new money everyone has every month. So you can’t compare the two. well you can but you just look foolish… which you’re doubling down on.
