    Also most of the studies of ubi show it doesn’t cost all that much because it allows a reduction in expensive to administer social programs - obviously less of an effect in the USA that doesn’t have those.

      the actual cost of bureaucracy is not that big, and so the reduction would also not be significant.

      the bigger advantage is that as it’s simpler as there are no requirements, it’s less error-prone and people are less likely to fall through cracks.
