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?

The test programs can’t really show anything definitive though. For a couple important reasons.
- The program will end and participants know that. Not working for 3-5 years is going to create long term problems after the program ends for participants.
- It’s a set cost trial, so government doesn’t adjust taxes or other social programs.
- It’s limited scope, so landlords employers, shops, etc can’t make any adjustments either as it’s an irrelevant amount of their income.
