No UBI. The problem with UBI is social programs. we spend billions on safety nets for specific cases and purposes. safe nets for food. safety nets for healthcare. safety nets so parents can feed their children. this is a good thing. this helps people do something they may not have been able to do

basic income does not replace any of these safety nets. you will still have to have them. UBI is just increasing taxes

i’d rather add more safety nets to help those really in need than raise taxes to pay everyone some small amount
