    A hundred billion is a rounding error for the military-industrial complex. They could probably find that as loose change in the couch cushions in the pentagon.

    At the city or state level, they don't get to print their own money when they want more, so UBI simply can't scale unless it's done at a national level where money doesn't matter.

    And the profiteers are still going to get theirs. A portion of that money comes back as "campaign contributions" to ensure that they do.
