There's a fellow I follow on Tumblr who got tired of all the talk about UBI without any concrete specifics, and so took it upon himself to look at actual, real UBI proposals with serious analysis. There are fewer than you'd think, considering how much talk there has been about it: https://squareallworthy.tumblr.com/tagged/ubi https://squareallworthy.tumblr.com/tagged/ubi To be honest, the results are sobering. There are depressingly few proposals to begin with, and they all seem to be fundamentally flawed: they either have a lot of fuzzy math to handwave away problems, or they are politically impossible. Each of his posts ends with "If this is the most serious UBI proposal, there are no serious UBI proposals" and it's a hard point to argue with. I was a strong UBI supporter even six months ago, but between this analysis and questions like "With a $2,000/month UBI payment, won't landlords just simultaneously raise rent by $2,000/month?" with no obvious answers, I'm really pulling back.
