Why should people with pensions not get UBI? They saved their money into a pension vs into a bank account.
Unless you are talking about replacing Social Security, but even there the math isn't as straightforward.
As for 18 and under, I think it's a bit tough. A 6 person household with 4 kids needs much more than a 2 person household. If we don't supply UBI to the children / wards of the children then we risk needing to recreate social assistance programs. Although it does run the risk of having kids for money, which admittedly probably already happens.
- danieltillett 11y agoI was making the point that a UBI can have age exclusions and still be simple. I would be reluctant to provide a full UBI to children since they don't have the freedom to spend the money themselves.
