What UBI proposals are you reading that do away with actual jobs? There would still be jobs for people doing those things you described.

Okay…now that we agree that UBI won’t produce any meaningful labor. What benefit do we get out of the trillions of dollars of debt we’d be accumulating?

It’s a classic economic blunder that dictatorships love to make:

1. Create money & rack up debt.

2. Produce nothing.

3. Create inflationary crisis and exacerbate wealth inequality.

4. Highlight your good intentions and relish your new position as champion of the people.
