The fact that UBI is attractive to any degree at all means the whole economy is worth throwing away. Why are people producing and not receiving an adequate portion of what the economy produces? Nixon's dream is only going to put snags and clogs in the economy, the only question is where. The purpose of the global economy is to siphon wealth from the poor to enrich dynasties, a UBI will either wither it's own funding or get rolled back as this purpose is obstructed.
