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?

    Though i dont disagree in theory, beware of the utility part you mentioned. A plumber is providing a service and im not sure why he should make a small profit on top of his ubi in that world of yours. Can you elaborate?

      I’m thinking more of the “commanding heights of the economy”, rather than small time professionals. So, I’m talking Amazon, Google, Walmart, that stuff.

        I know what you meant, and i dont disagree with the core of it really. Just really think about your wording, as it hits more people than youd think :)
