Exactly my point. Using UBI is working under the guise of “helping” Americans when in reality you are sending out checks every month that are not even enough for rent or food, then there will be restrictions on where you can use that money (just like welfare), ultimately controlling the business who make money through this process. If you really want to help ppl get out of poverty, you would focus on either teaching financial literacy or bringing attention the large corporations who have purchased majority of our homes. They easily control the market and yet still refuse to lower costs. Address the problem don’t pacify people to funnel money to yourself.
