8. UBI Costs
Wed Jul 9, 2025, 01:44 PM
Jul 2025

I am not an economist and I do not have all the numbers. I would add that UBI could be supplemented by a part time job. And a Recipient could go off of UBI if they could earn more than say $ 20,000 dollars above their base of UBI and part time pay combined. All that money would mostly feed Landlords, Supermarkets, and Pharmacies. The Economy would boom. Crime would go down significantly as people would not have to resort to desperate acts to survive. Word needs to get out. This is a decent policy idea. Feel free to cut, paste and edit this post and send this information to your elected officials.
