we had this UBI experiment during COVID lockdown and PPP loans, and what happened??

People splurged all government given money on luxury items and unnecessary stuff, or just gambled it way on stock market or betting.

UBI does NOT work in the US and will never work. More sensible approach is what China does: low prices.

Just massively lower prices for basic cost of living items, so that even Uber driver could live normal life
