On your second point, this would likely have the opposite effect. Small businesses don’t have to compete with UBI, they reap the benefits of it. It will improve small businesses as a lot more people with be able to AFFORD working for small local businesses instead of big corporations that pay a few dollars more. UBI would stimulate local economies big time. And hey, if you’re worried about small businesses, what exactly do you think AI automation is going to do for ma and pa shops? Because “keep them in business” ain’t it.

Would the idea be that the UBI received is the same for everyone, or some people would receive while others won't, to varying degrees?
