I don't think anyone argues against the notion that substituting a basic income in place of complicated payment/handout/welfare schemes is more efficient.

- maxerickson 12y agoI think people do sometimes poorly raise the efficiency point though, confusing efficiency with cost, and then you get huge digressions where people point out the obvious, that limited programs have a smaller total cost than universal ones. (of course better efficiency does mean lower administrative costs, but any program should aim to have benefit spending swamp administrative costs)
