First things that will happen when an UBI gets introduced: rents increase, food prices will go berserk and most likely governments will use taking away the UBI from persons who have different opinions than the state dictates. I'm all for equality and think that an UBI is a great idea, but the abuse by forementioned states, landlords and companies will deminish its' effect. A way better idea is to abolish money all together, but that will surely find opposition with the people who sit on large piles of it and use it as a tool to obtain power.

The key is balance. We want to make sure that none of our brothers and sisters are left behind, that they have food, shelter, clothing and a change to enjoy life. But we want to ensure that at every income level people retain the incentive to work to earn more, because that work is what will make society continue to function and the income continue to flow.
