Not only that, but I don't believe (correct me if I'm wrong) that any UBI skeptics would argue that UBI wouldn't "help" the people who received it in the short-term, like in a 12-year-period, but that it's unsustainable in even the lifetime of a single generation. It's more like social security, which was a great deal for the first generation that started receiving it, but is getting more expensive and less beneficial with each passing year.
