Reply to comment by Dyeeguy in How do you guys actually think UBI will work? by MelodiGreig

You are mistaken, there is actually a huge scarcity of ressources on this planet.

US lifestyle is not scalable.

And of course UBI will allow people « not to live paycheck to paycheck », it is just that people think 1$ of UBI will allow them to buy the same as 1$ of today.

It is not, RV parks wont get bigger by UBI, Disneyland either, there won’t be more shoreline on the lake either.

UBI wont change a single thing to that apart making people who have the good stuff already even richer…

You can’t control what people are going to do with their UBI money, apart if you distribute it as coupons, like in the USSR or SNAP.
