The arguments for a basic income ignore basic economics. If everyone is to be granted say an extra $100, then the prices of even the most basic of goods will also increase until that extra income that everyone is getting is cancelled out.

Main problem is that every time something is subsidised, prices rise negating the subsidy, the only way that UBI would work is for necessities to remain cheap, food, water, accommodation, electricity, gas, fuel, transport, communications. No specific subsidy on named things.

I think they should change the law's concerning social security benefits that anyone 50 or over should be able to collect their social security benefits they worked for and not have to be disabled Mentally or physically. And also be allowed to work if they so choose.

This is not news. It’s called discussing economic paradigms on a -firstly- academic level. So it can’t be “fake”.

"make the case for its necessity" is fake news
