    but I’ve never seen a convincing argument that “inflation” (read “greedy bastards”) wouldn’t immediately wipe out the extra income

    i have one for you

    in 1960s people were well off (one house, two cars, three kids, based on a single income). why didn’t “inflation” wipe out the surplus income immediately?

      Okay, why wouldn’t UBI effectively get wiped out by inflation over 65 years, as has apparently happened to the prosperity in the '60s, then?
