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?

      a lot of people will sit on their ass all day and take advantage of it

      And they’d be entitled to just that. That’s the point: nobody being forced to work just to survive. You don’t understand the concept.

      “Universal” means that it’s unconditional. As I understand it, by design of the concept, everybody should receive it.

      I take downvotes as an admission of guilt to my observations, thanks.

      That’s not a very reliable way to determine that. Might as well admit something like “I take the shape of the tea leaves to mean that I am correct.”
