When talking to people who dislike UBI about UBI, they'll often say both that 'people need a purpose in life' and that 'nobody will work if they get free money'. - eviltoast

Those seem incompatible to me.

(UBI means Universal Basic Income, giving everyone a basic income, for free)

    So you’re telling me rent in OK is off the charts? Or could there be some mechanism other than government limiting how high rents can go?

      There’s another mechanism, it’s just competition. They can’t go too high or else they’ll price themselves out. Minimum wage here is still $7.25/hr
