@PakkonenCT @CSB @melodiousowls another benefit of UBI is a natural disincentive for unskilled migration. A registered citizen receives UBI benefits, an immigrant does not. Which means a citizen needs to be paid less for the same standard of living. Which means the only people that would want to migrate are those make enough money and paying enough taxes that the UBI becomes irrelevant. Which should be the case for 90% of the population.
