This shit again.

NO ONE has given me an answer to the question: what will happen when basic income inevitably raises the overall price of basic stuff because now "everyone can afford it"?

It will be back to zero, people with basic income will not be able to afford both housing/bills and food. Moreover the ones without will be totally fucked.

So, what gives? Run BI in a few small counties and call it a success? Gee wouldn't BI supporters love that...
