1. 22% of the US population are children. so it doesn't have to be UBI the moment someone pops out of the wound
2. we put almost a trillion dollars into welfare every year.
3. You don't have to provide Equal UBI to every citizen regardless of their income. You can make it like a reverse tax that decreases as you go higher in income that peters out at 100k or so (which 30% of Americans make).
No point in taking the plan someone gave as an example so literally. These are econimic problems that experts spent decades thinking aobut and would take months to draft in order to prevent these obvious counterarguments.
