How many dirt bikes do you think someone is buying? Is your concern that after being on UBI for a year someone will have 12 dirt bikes and a starving child?

If 99 people don’t buy drugs, and 1 person does, is the system a failure?

I'm just giving legitimate examples of wasteful things that people spend money on, because the person I was responding to seemed to have trouble coming up with good ones.

Just like the examples you're giving me- 12 dirt bikes? That's obviously a ridiculous proposition. So is only 1 out of 99 using that money to buy drugs- a much larger percentage of our population than that partakes. Using stupid examples like that doesn't persuade anybody that Americans are mostly financially responsible.
