> The level of the tide rises Precisely. People are trying to treat the symptoms of inflation by throwing money (UBI) at the problem. The problem isn't that people don't have enough money; the problem is that the cost of living has become less and less affordable. The solution is to reduce the cost of living by offering people basic affordable alternatives - not giving people more money to afford housing, but helping the price of housing reduce over time (a process that, if it were entirely handled by the private sector, we would call commoditization and hail as a success). Not by giving people more money to spend on K-12 education, but by making K-12 education free (wait... we already did that one). If we give people more money (Pell grants for university degrees), the price just spirals out of control. Treat the problem, not the symptoms.
