Are you in support of UBI? - eviltoast

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’d be in favor of both. Universal services and some income.

    A little bit of basic income would allow some flexibility just in case there’s something that UBS doesn’t cover on an individual level.

    UBI that’s big enough to cover housing, food, clothing, education, etc would almost certainly get abused and exploited in every way possible to not be used on housing, food, clothing, and education…
