The largest problem for UBI - from a state and political standpoint - is that you are actually taking away power from the civil service and politicians, because they would no longer have the power over people's benefits. UBI reduces t

So far, it appears that most people are either willing to suck up the interest or invest them. There aren't a lot of withdrawals going on. Probably still less safe to sow the cash into a mattress than paying about 600 DKK a year pe
