UBI is not meant to be without work on other incomes, it just meant to have a financial safety net without regulations and criteria (below poverty, disabled, location, children, etc.)

If you get $1,000/month right now, things would go smoother, and you still have to pay tax on your new higher wage.

UBI is not a "never work only consume" solution.

I think UBI would be easier to achieve if the government just paid for housing. And built more apartment homes for everyone.

There is plenty of land and resources for everyone in America. But the oligarchs are super greedy, and force a fake scarcity, in order to have a supply-and-demand problem.

They just printed $4 Trillion USD, so it’s apparently quite easy to print money out of thin air. And then they gave it to their other rich buddies that don’t need the money. It was a pure and disgusting money grab, at the expense of everyone else.
