I have yet to hear a convincing argument as to why prices won’t rise to include the UBI so people are effectively as poor as ever, meanwhile the money still goes to the companies gouging us for necessities, just with an extra stop along the way.
Edit: yeah, no, this is a dumb take because that exact fucking thing has never happened with anything else like college tuition 🙄
College tuition is a weird bird. Some colleges allegedly have attempted to lower prices for tuition and found that they had less students, claiming something about perceived value and standards.
I’m pretty sure it’s all bullshit, but I’m definitely not running a study on pricing.
Finally bothered to find a source: https://www.cato.org/policy-analysis/making-college-more-expensive-unintended-consequences-federal-tuition-aid
So yeah, still haven’t heard a convincing argument why UBI won’t do that ^ but to everything. Amazingly, downvotes failed to change my mind.
