I feel the need to continue bringing this up on every article about UBI... as the additional contribution states for the UK, the USA versions cost at just poverty level is pushing 2.7 Trillion dollars, basically, as much as our entire budget right now, if you come back with the this will replace social programs, well that still won't matter because they only account for something like 350 Billion of that budget. You would need to charge every robot and person the same way, and even then a 6 Trillion dollar budget just isn't feasible without some major changes.
