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 don’t like that plan. Its basically a free $20k for those who don’t work while working people get nothing.

    You either give everyone 20k or you don’t.

    I think the only way for UBI effectively to work is if you can fix prices/profits. No more charging $10 for something that’s cost .5¢ to make.

      Yes, that’s the point.
