> money can be worth less and it won't matter.

You see the problem here. As money continues to be worth less, UBI would have to increase to meet "people's basic needs." As UBI increases, inflation gets worse, until everyone is worse off, and UBI collapses.

If you want to destroy the middle class (which we've been doing a darn good job of), this would pour cement over the coffin.
