Hello, I’m not that informed about UBI, but here is my arguement:

Everyone gets some sort of income, but wouldn’t companies just subside the income by raising their prices? Also, do you believe capatilism can co-exist with UBI?

    Yes, with the caveat that it will need to be coupled with a massive pendulum swing in favor of workers rights.

      In all honesty it could help loosen regulations on workers rights. Flipping burgers and the boss is on some shady shit trying to schedule you a ton of hours? Fuck it. You can quit and still survive, and possibly thrive.

      Not that I’d advocate loosening those regulations. Just that UBI itself could alleviate some current issues.

      That is completely automatic. The “right”/survivability to say no is directly empowering to entire labour force.
