My unpopular opinion is that as long as everyone has a universal basic quality of life and isn't living paycheck to paycheck, then wealth inequality is not bad.

My unpopular opinion is that as long as everyone has a universal basic quality of life and isn't living paycheck to paycheck, then wealth inequality is not bad. What's bad right now is that we have some people who wouldn't bother picking up Benjamins and other people who are scrounging the streets for pennies and leftovers. That sort of inequality is baffling. At the same time, there are some folks who could be given a winning lottery ticket and be homeless the next month. I think of UBI and wonder about all of the people who do not know how to spend their money properly, and if they'll just end up homeless anyway. Maybe UBI is not the answer, but UBS -- universal basic services. UBI is the wrong metric. The best metric is how many people are living in unfathomable poverty. I bet that UBI will not be able to solve homelessness in and of itself.
