UBI is intended (by some) to deliberately create dependency.

If you have left the job market and lost skills and confidence, you will do anything you are told to keep your handouts.

Its completely terrifying and evil. So pretty likely soon.

Dude, we have that now - byzantine bureaucratic hells that shovel resources to blue-haired petty tyrants in the name of the poor (intended to keep them poor - but grateful).

#ubi leaves the poor in the same position as they are now, just with more time and less deliberate humiliation.

#ubi redistributes from the bureaucrats to We The People. That's why its worth doing, and why there is so much insincere opposition from #experts

I don't think you have understood my argument

I agree 100% with your argument, but not with your conclusion.

The present, labrynthine social welfare system already provides the state MORE levers over vulnerable people than #ubi.
