while i agree that there are very, very few bad apples, and our intuitions incorrectly overweigh them to our detriment, the power imbalance in labor won't be solved by ubi. it can never be big enough to make that kind of difference (see: cost of stimulus checks relative to the economy), and that's why it's a frustrating distraction wasting cycles when we could be talking about ways to level the playing field, like removing the advantages to capital, providing real-time information symmetry to workers, dampening corporate protection, enforcing anti-trust, and dozens of other more effective policies.

ubi is like candy when what we need are balanced meals.
