UBI means that the empathetic people subsidize the vain and the selfish.

In my experience, empathy has an inverse relationship to your position on the org chart.
Vain and selfish people probably aren’t going to sit around and live on the basic level. It’s more about providing for the ignored, the sick, and enabling people to take risks in the market without putting their family’s lives at stake.
