Although I find the idea of UBI very appealing, I think that in reality it would be more like “Basic” in the book/TV series “The Expanse”. Most people were not needed for work, which was a privilege of the well-connected. Everyone else lived in poverty on “Basic”. I look at my own government’s support for people on disability: it’s far below what that same government claims is the minimum required to live! They recently increased the benefit due to public pressure—by $6/day. 🫤 So UBI could well just create a permanent underclass, barely surviving and with no future. 😞
