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?

    Yes I’m in favor of UBI.

    I think capitalism would survive just fine with UBI.

    I don’t think prices would automatically cancel out the money, because prices are still subject to competition.

    As for whether people would still work after their basic needs are met, obviously. The evidence is people who are beyond subsistence and still seeking more money.
