That's interesting comment about the air..
Anyway, I should point out, though, UBI would probably make higher middle class (the people who have job, but don't have to worry about unemployment) a little worse off - they would have to pay people having low-paying jobs a little more, because the existential threat is gone. That's a good thing, IMHO. Although it makes the GP comment a little more nonsensical - UBI is actually against the interest of the higher middle class professionals.
