"How much will everybody get?" (choose) -> "Not enough to cover basic needs"
Leads to
"People are starving." -> "Your version of UBI is dumb."
Excuse me? People currently get $0, which is also less than people need to cover basic needs. If that kind of UBI is dumb, your status quo is dumb.
Your chart only looks at immediate benefits and costs, and then declares UBI dumb if it either requires any increase in spending at all, or it isn't a utopian system. It also seems to assume UBI encourages everyone stop being employed.
