The question is fine and it makes sense. The issue is that it’s a mistake to ignore reality around it. For example, death penalty proponents tend to ignore the financial cost, which is being increased due to litigation from opponents of the death penalty. They can’t wish away anti-death penalty lawyers doing pro-bono work, or pretend that they don’t exist. In a similar fashion, UBI proponents will ignore the likelihood that the government will likely fund the program by printing more money. The other reality being ignored is that the supply and availability of goods doesn’t change. What happens with more demand for those goods? Prices rise.
