You have identified problems in society that could generally be classified as over and unnecessary consumption that is leading to exploitation and environmental destruction
You have proposed UBI which does nothing to address the stated problem.
UBI is the solution to when the human labour requirement of creating goods is so low that large quantities of human labour are no longer required to create surplus so you need to disincentivize work and provide a means of living for those who don’t have access to jobs. This does not exist today. Until this scenario begins to exist we are much better focusing elsewhere.
UBI is not the solution to Over-Consumption. It does nothing to address over consumption. It merely transfers the consumption from one group to another. UBI is not a solution to greed
UBI is not a solution to homelessness
UBI is not a solution to mental health
UBI is not a solution to addictions
UBI is not a solution to global warming
UBI might be a solution to poverty in some scenarios but targeted programs are likely to be more efficient.
You are underpants gnoming UBI to this massive change in the human condition.
