At the moment corporations have convinced us they should get all our resources for free.
For sure. Governments have sold the people out, by promoting that corporations provide jobs, so should pay less tax. That is no longer the case, abd as you say, they are using our resources.
Norway owns around 2% of all stocks on the world, financed by oil. Taxes are high there, as are living expenses, but they also have a very good quality of life, with lots of social support.
Lots to hate about UBI also, but currently, the pros outweigh the cons abd doing nothing is not an option.
