You make a fair point on the buying power of money and sure UBI based on inflationary currencies aren’t going to work, I mean we could give everyone $5000 a month but a bread costs you $5000 so what does it matter?

As I said in my previous comment I live in a welfare state we have democratic socialism as they call it and I can tell you without a doubt giving money makes people lazy but it’s not the root cause of laziness

Money given by right of breathing never helped anyone that’s why I say certain conditions should be added to qualify and the goal posts can be moved to stimulate certain positive behaviors

I’m not saying it’s a silver bullet but surely worth a try! I think the words UBI often is seen with a radical redistribution of funds and scare tactics but it really doesn’t have to be done that way!
