    Where’s that money going to come from?

    The point of UBI isn’t to allow anyone to not work if they don’t want to. It’s so that everyone can live securely while still contributing to keeping society running, and allow those who can’t work to live without worry about survival.

    You can’t have UBI without workers. It’s still working to survive, just with a massive safety net.

      From net worth of all millionaires and billionaires, where it’s not currently being used for anything worthwhile.

      UBI is only the first step towards actual redistribution of wealth

        That networth isn’t cash on hand. It’s comprised of assets that can’t be instantly converted into cash.

        And like the other person said, it’s not nearly enough for UBI.
