Douglas appears to be saying that UBI is bad because it supports and perpetuates all of the bad stuff about capitalism (wrecking the environment and concentrating wealth in the hands of the wealthy) It does this because UBI means giving people money, and then they buy the usual crap from the usual wealthy guys. Have I got that right? But the alternative, "give everybody a job", does the exact same thing. So the "colossal problem" with UBI is that it does nothing to cure the evils of capitalism? Ok. Well it does cure some other big evils. I think Douglas's point is just hot air. Sorry.
