What if the worst case for UBI is that it, counter-intuitively, increases the income gap between low and middle classes? Is it still worth it then?

- Dylan16807 6y agoThat's a tricky one. It depends on how it affects the relationship with the upper class too. Completely unreal example numbers: If the distribution of lower:middle:upper was 2:5:40 and changes to 4:8:25 then that's a big improvement, even though the gap between lower and middle increased from 3 to 4.
- mrlala 6y agoOf course not- and that has nothing to do with the situation I was talking about. I was giving an example where the worst case was still "good" overall. You are giving an example where the worst case is "bad" overall.. so, duh?
