I agree, sort of.
Housing should sort of be like UBI, where there should be a basic apartment block or section of smaller homes for families to fall back on. These tend to be pretty dangerous places though, no body "wants" to live there. If anyone thinks that they have a "right" to a house in any neighborhood that they want, they are unrealistic. Demand and availability is real, there is no world in which people are guaranteed a nice home, with a nice yard, in a nice part of town.
UBI should absolutely be a thing for everyone.
Companies need to generate more than their overhead, or they can't pay their workers. If they are not profitable, they can not grow, if they can not grow, then their only outcome overtime is to shutdown. Why would anyone ever want to risk everything to start a new business then?
I'm all for change and fixing things, but people's "wants" need to be realistic.
Turns out I don't believe in capitalism anymore. That ship has sailed for me when I realized the only thing corporations and the government care about is making sure they make piles and piles of money off my work (hint im an engineer), while they try to offer me a piddley two weeks vacation bcz life is about working until you're dead unless you're rich.
