What are the costs of UBI? Pros and Cons of Universal Basic Income
Episode 6
Sunday, 31 January, 2021

In this episode I am hoping to appeal to the many people awakening to the possibility of a government sponsored Universal Basic Income (UBI) program. I am not categorically for or against UBI; it is just one means of attaining a desired ends. I am hoping people who have not already made up their mind can be shown that along with the many pros politicians talk about, there are many cons to a policy/ program like this. I do not think these costs "refute" UBI, but it should make an unbiased judge skeptical of whether or not it will be the right tool for the job. Since ideas matter, and your ideas are manifested in law by voting for constituents who share those ideas, it is important to make sure we are as informed as possible. UBI has many costs and unintended side effects we should all be aware of before finalizing our decisions and casting them in law.
