rare adjective (of an event, situation, or condition) not occurring very often. I'd say 6% fits that definition. You're also ignoring the fact that, for various reasons, people show up in an ER when they really didn't need to

You're right, but this also requires the renter to actually make their extra money work for them. Sounds simple, but so many people don't. It's similar to why people like tax refunds; it makes no sense financially, but it act

Ignoring the trillions of dollars that would cost, what makes you believe that housing costs wouldn't inflate dramatically? Supply isn't magically going to boom and people all of a sudden have more spending power.

I have yet to see any UBI proposal that would wholly replace someone's income, so no, I don't think low skill workers would be any more likely to just up and quit. People often live to the extent of their means, so they'll st
