Against both because I’m a communist against income and because its almost always paired with eliminating almost all help programs and with a suggested amount that when those two are combined will arguably make things worse for those in the most need,
There have been UBI trial runs in the EU, they usually dont. Once peoples needs are met, they tend to want to want to continue doing things as they are. If they wern’t buying fancy cars, UBI isnt going to change that, and if a car is a need for that individual, then the system is working as intended.
Plus, the thing every counter argument to UBI seems to forget is that not everyone will be responsible with the funds or onboard with the program. The system will need to have to buffer for abuse and poor habbits, but unlike now, an unwillingnes/inability to participate in the workforce does not mean poverty. Plus a well designed system will help people use it effectivly and get them the help they need (see the current failures of the US mental health system).
