My biggest issue with UBI is that if you are guaranteed to have enough money for yourself and your children to survive, then why bother with birth control at all?
People don’t have a boatload of kids in part because the fiscal repercussions are immense. But with UBI people can shit out kids and maintain the CERB quality of life.
All the UBI proponents operate from the assumption there isn’t drastic population growth, and the existing tax pool can be redirected from services to direct payments. This just doesn’t hold up if the takers breed a greater number of takers.
