UBI is going to cause horrid issues. I actually think we’d be able to buy less in this case.it will cause massive issues that aren’t worth it anyway. I’d rather buy with my own cash and keep price lower instead of full on UBI insanity and the hell that will bring faster. At least if it takes longer we can save and build over longer period. full on real UBI will just speed it up so much the other issues aren’t worth the pain. I think many are underestimating what the USA loosing reserve status will be like. It will be hell here for a few years. I hope we end up with more time before full on UBI. But we are half way there so 🤷🏼♂️ we’ll see.

I don’t think the issues will arise from UBI so much as the method by which it’s implemented, but I do agree we’re headed for serious change in some form.
Automation used to mean unskilled labor had to find another unskilled job, but now those jobs are disappearing so I don’t think it’s a bad idea to have some kind of social system in place to handle the transition from worker to entrepreneur (whatever form that takes going forward), but the way UBI will most likely come to be will also open the door for government to seize more control.
Generally, though, everything comes with an up side and a down side so hopefully people will get a clue and see what’s coming..., but I doubt it. People are lazy and happy to hand over control if it means they get to stay on the couch for the 15th rerun of Friends.
“ but the way UBI will most likely come to be will also open the door for government to seize more control.“
