It becomes more and more meaningless when you start to talk about any form of regulation or extension of basic rights. Plenty of countries are coming around to the idea that housing is a basic right. It's hard to raise prices when your competition is literally free. UBI + market regulations + basic human rights are all required. No solution exists in a vacuum and anyone who considers it as such is missing the point
I'm not sure what point you're trying to make. Nobody is saying UBI solves all social problems.
If you read the entire chain the person before you is talking about UBI in a vacuum. So my "point" was that you are correct and that people often expect solutions to universally solve all issues without themselves having flaws. Which is dumb. Perfection is impossible and should never stop progress
Ah, ok. Cheers.
