More propaganda JP? Let me guess. "UBI doesn't address the fact that while people are starving and homeless, they need 'meaning' and not money". These anti-UBI arguments are so think-tanky and predictable in their purposeful diagnosis misdirection. Thank you Heritage Foundation.

"However, if the program is indeed universal, inequality would remain the same, as everyone gets the same amount and the distance between people on the income ladder remains unchanged." Wrong. Same amount =/= same marginal effect. Poor ppl need $100 more than rich ppl.

The fact remains that some people are unemployable for a variety of reasons,these people are condemned to a life of poverty and an early death if left without assistance

For instance; the statement “ inequality would remain the same, as everyone gets the same amount and the distance between people on the income ladder remains the unchanged” is plainly wrong.

the headline unemployment rate in US is currently very low, but the real problem is the polarization of wealth. there are lots of menial jobs that dont pay anything while a few plutocrats at the top accumulate an ever-growing % of the total wealth of society.

One of the most productive moves I’ve made towards my own happiness is not valuing myself based on occupation.

this universal tendency of capitalism towards wealth polarization is why even free-market and libertarian economists such as Friedrich Hayek and Milton Friedman have been UBI supporters, its necessary for the stability of the system.
