> One aspect of UBI is that poor people would be less at the mercy of the rich.

That is a very strong statement that I don't think can be claimed at this point.

In my opinion, I feel things will simply shift under UBI. People will receive UBI, but then other things, like rent, food, etc. will all just magically get more expensive.

I cannot see any implementation of UBI working any better than things now unless the predatory nature of those in power is put in check.
