Let's talk other concerns, like inflation and housing. Many of the people who are most in need of help would be fine if we brought back genuinely affordable housing AND if size and cost of housing keeps going up and up, no amount of basic income guarantees any kind of real security. If you print enough money to issue a UBI, you will have massive inflation, devaluing the amount they are being given. It creates a situation where no amount is ever enough. But if we can inject genuinely affordable housing back into the system, a thing that is practically extinct, then even losers with a part-time, minimum wage job should be okay. (And don't bust my chops about using the word losers. I am homeless. It is not me looking down my nose at other people, JFC.)
