You really didn't answer my question though, and now we're on a different, tired series of questions that always get asked in regards to UBI.

I did. I dont think it would work because UBI requires getting rid of those other social safety net programs. $1k/mo will barely cover rent/food a month for things like single mother households and would lead to the reintroduction of other social programs to help those cases. Leading us right back to where we are now with more entitlement / debt.
