Maybe I missed it in all the trade school dialogue but isn’t this thread about a Canadian UBI?

It’s getting confusing mixing in American context, although very fascinating knowledge New Era.

In Canada, I did see some math from I think Bizaro that tried to account for the funding. I believe it showed us still to be short the entire federal budget.

We can’t simply tax ourselves to pay ourselves. Someone has to pay for it. I’d be concerned that inflation will hurt the same people UBI is supposed to help.

Also as New Era was demonstrating, the govt giveth with one sound bite and taketh with the fine print. Again hurting the very people UBI is supposed to help.

As said. It’s an interesting idea I just don’t think it can be executed on due to the natural mechanics of our market driven economy.
