Those seem incompatible to me.

(UBI means Universal Basic Income, giving everyone a basic income, for free)

    I’ve always wanted UBI to be a thing but after a discussion with my brother I’m second guessing it. His argument is that corporations will just increase their prices and not much would change.

    He suggested that instead, we use the money that we would use for UBI to guarantee that EVERYONE’S basic needs are met. Housing, food, healthcare, etc…

    I know it’s easier said than done but I’m just worried that billionaires will fuck up UBI like they fuck up everything else.
