Hello, I’m not that informed about UBI, but here is my arguement:

Everyone gets some sort of income, but wouldn’t companies just subside the income by raising their prices? Also, do you believe capatilism can co-exist with UBI?

    Those basic services all have a cost associated with them… that’s why people support UBI to cover those basic services…

      Why are you under the impression that UBS will not pay for those services?

      The US Post service is the biggest UBS that most Americans pay with taxes. Those who can’t afford or can’t make money to pay taxes or otherwise still benefit from it as “free”

      You seem to think it doesn’t exist or will not work. Yet it does. Libraries exist, public transportation exists. People needs can be met.

      When I say it should be free, it means that there is no cost to be paid by individual
