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.

Money is a useful tool. The key is to limit and reduce its abuse. Of course, that is obviously way, way easier said than done.
