    It could be basically the same thing but those services would be provided by private companies. Which wouldn’t be too bad if they were highly regulated, specially in margins and prices. If the income value was regulated and coming from companies by form of taxes anyway and it made sure that if someone needed something but was over that value wouldn’t go without. But I don’t know why I’m defending it, I agree with you, UBI just feels like a way of just avoiding public services, which is foolish but will probably be needed the way the world is headed. Mostly because providing these services in most places is harder that just giving the money.
