Comment on The Toothpaste Argument for Universal Basic Incomeparent

Comments

Anyone receiving UBI would also need to pay for housing and food and everything else. The grant comes to the student and the student gives it to the school, and they don't have to pay it back (because it's a grant). The school can now afford to hire a bunch of "administrators" to justify raising the tuition. It's a perfect microcosm of what would happen in a UBI scenario.
