UBI actually doesn't work--if you look at the economics, it's only a temporary band-aid.
Just one more example of something that sounds like it should work, but doesn't.

There’s a lot of evidence that basic income support does work to lift people out of poverty. The thing is we don’t have the economic or political system that makes rolling it out universally to be practical.
You may feel that way, but the math simply doesn't work.
Someone has to pay for that (like any entitlement) and then (over time) prices rise to compensate--and you're right back where you started.
It's all "economic propaganda" - people want "free stuff" and if they think they can get it, they'll vote for it...and then we end up with dystopian governments in charge.
Take a course in macro economics...I'm sure it'll be covered.
If people has the minimum they need to pay or help them pay for their expenses, they get themselves out of poverty by studying instead of working at a very young age or working for unreasonably long hours just to be able to survive. Every developed country can pay a minimum to the elderly (especially if they don’t have a pension or their pension can’t help them cover their expenses) and peoples in need; this needs to be prioritized in the budget of the governments and donations can be collected to sustain it.
