Hello, I’m not that informed about UBI, but here is my arguement:

Everyone gets some sort of income, but wouldn’t companies just subside the income by raising their prices? Also, do you believe capatilism can co-exist with UBI?

    I’ve wondered the same thing. Seems like it would need to be paired with price controls or public control of essentials, but that’s sort of a “seize the means of production” conversation that I don’t think would be popular unless something like AI genuinely puts enough people out of work.
