Dude...I mean this in the nicest way possible and only say it cause I think it's important for everyone to understand:

People work for money. If a job has no pay, you can't expect it to get done.

We need people to actually run hospitals, produce food, construct shelter/infrastructure, provide childcare/education, etc.

What UBI proposals are you reading that do away with actual jobs? There would still be jobs for people doing those things you described.

Okay…now that we agree that UBI won’t produce any meaningful labor. What benefit do we get out of the trillions of dollars of debt we’d be accumulating?

It’s a classic economic blunder that dictatorships love to make:

1. Create money & rack up debt.

2. Produce nothing.

3. Create inflationary crisis and exacerbate wealth inequality.

4. Highlight your good intentions and relish your new position as champion of the people.
