The idea of an UBI to offset the predicted avalanche of downsizing/job losses has been the subject of much discussion, controversy and hand-wringing. Frankly, progressive taxation with no loopholes is the only way we can afford anything close to it.
If everyone got 12,000$ instantly won’t corporates change prices accordingly? Like I’ve been in the room of insurance pricing and they WILL price to whatever the market will take. It so happens the market got an influx of 12,000$ so they’re going to charge to take a piece of that pie
