> The problem with your "theory" is that they are going to decrease at a 1:1 ratio with increase in labor costs from the UBI Actually, I never said 1:1 ratio with UBI. I just claimed the labor markets would decrease and monetary supply would increase. > True, but that's not the argument you are making. No, that's exactly and precisely the argument I'm making. I'm not an opponent of UBI for wishy washy wealth redistribution reasons, but because of the lousy labor markets it would create and the inflation it would create. The models for what would happen under UBI are not clear, but there are not positive economic models under a UBI scheme by major economists. UBI proponents have failed to provide any model whatsoever and fall back on vague handwaivy feelings that seem to always only show extremely positive outcomes with no possible negatives and a reliance on magic automation technology that doesn't exist.
