> The article says "conservative support for UBI rests on an approach that would increase poverty, rather than reduce it", so maybe the problem is the conservative approach and not UBI?
Perhaps this would be a more convincing argument if the article proposed some way to pay for UBI other than handwaving it away through more taxation.
For context: you could take literally every penny doled out to the military industrial complex and throw it into UBI and it would barely put a dent in that overall cost.
