UBI is so intrinsically flawed its laughable. Look at all the countries that use it and see the ensuing madness.
I'm all for it. Lets make some chaos.

I asked Iggy earlier, but I'd like to hear from you too - what's the difference in "telling them to sort it out themselves" through several smaller supplements like EI, etc and "telling them to sort it out themselves" through one single, larger UBI payment?
Is it really better to expect the government to proficiently distribute funds through dozens of programs and rebates, vs one singular program in UBI?
The cost savings alone from simplifying the administration of those programs (uh-oh - union jobs!) can't be insignificant...
