I'm concerned that when everyone receives money, the people and corps with concentrated power/wealth are able to funnel it into their own pockets, and the money becomes worth less over time so that the people receiving it now need the UBI and an income to scrape by. Think about the shift towards dual income households; instead of households becoming more wealthy, society has changed such that it's difficult to survive on one income now (and for people with children, nearly impossible for most). If anything, households combining 2 incomes have a worse standard of living than a single-income household 40 years ago. I strongly believe at this point it would be better for society to prioritize housing, feeding, and attending to the medical needs of everyone; the possibility of paying them can then come later.
