- mason240 10y agoAbsolutely, as soon as you introduce ANY means testing at all, it is not longer UBI.
- grahamburger 10y agoUBI will be yet another political weapon to yield, just on the taxes side rather than the payout side. Where do we draw the line between who nets positive on UBI after their tax increases, and who loses money? That would be an enormous political weapon to yield.
