whats a ubi
Universal Basic Income.
A liveable wage paid to you by your government
It’s a shitty game company that made assassin’s creed I think
I think you mean make the protests worse as you are now an authoritarian government .
So you want to tie people’s ability to survive to the ideology of the ruling party at any given moment?
Techbros: write that down!

I assume you mean this as a warning rather than a suggestion.
But in any case, actually revoking UBI would provoke more protests from those affected, who would then have nothing else to lose—the only coercive power would come from threatening to revoke it without actually doing so.
But even threatening UBI would cause a widespread electoral backlash from everyone else who rather have a reliable income not dependent on the prevailing political winds.
