I keep asking the same question; and all I get, basically, is that the money will just appear from somewhere. What will happen to all the non-profits and government departments that are built around providing "services" to the poor, homeless, etc.? It's a huge industry, and it's not going down without a fight. In the meantime, you have added a few trillion dollars in annual spending to the budget.

> It's a huge industry, and it's not going down without a fight. It's not just that it's 'not going down without a fight' - these services are essential for people in need. These services provide them with more than just financial assistance. Given them money (and doing away with the services) only solves the problem if you assume that lack of money is the only problem. Which it's not - it's one aspect of the problem, but not the only issue for people in need.

UBI may not totally clear the homeless problem. Many of them are insane person without any care.
