It's only a subsidy in the way the universal basic income is also a subsidy.

UBI would be but I'm personally more ok with it given it won't be JUST to businesses. It'll benefit everyone with businesses also being included. Also raising the money for UBI will probably include a lot of funding via business taxes (including maybe having the employer paying much of the cost of the UBI of their employees).
