That’s right, because if they already get HUD, food stamps, medical, or whatever most people have to pay for, and then get 1K to just spend, WTH.

Idea of UBI is to replace all welfare with a flat check, eliminating the bureaucratic overhead & costs, and end the various “prove it” dead-ends people hit.

Of course, all those displaced bureaucrats & empowered leeches promptly “discover” all kinds of “$UBI/mo isn’t enough for special case X” rhetoric and promptly re-instate the massive welfare state on top of UBI.
