Misleading title. The author makes the argument that UBI would trade off with other vital social services and that's bad. It's fine to point this out as a risk of UBI adoption, but it certainly isn't an argument for why UBI is inherently bad. Plenty of people would be happy to see UBI co-existing with long standing social benefits.
- thescribe 10y agoI guess I do not see the point of UBI, if not the total elimination of other social programs.
- dragonwriter 10y agoA major point of UBI is to eliminate (or reduce) adverse incentives inherent in means-tested social benefit programs; it can easily do this while replacing only some existing means-tested social benefit programs, leaving other social benefit programs (means tested and otherwise) in place.
