You need a UBI on a level that allows people to live. That’s a lot of money. Better to extend unemployment benefits for a limited time.

This is 80% of pre-existing wages!

And, even though it's an employer subsidy, this is more beneficial in the long run if the economy recovers, because employers don't have to go through the fire/hire destruction and deadweight loss.

I will retire immediately if I can get a 80% UBI.
