> I've thought that the primary goal for UBI is an attempt to solve wealth distribution inequality. I disagree; I think the primary goal for UBI is to remove perverse incentives. For example, removing welfare traps (where you end up worse off if you start working), or expanding the reach of price discovery (social tenants have no incentive to move somewhere cheaper if the govt covers your rent either way, and landlords have no incentive to charge less than the HB ceiling because tenants on HB don't care). I think it's well worth doing even if it doesn't reduce inequality (though obviously it'd be nice if it did that too).
