Ask HN: What would you do with $5k/mo basic income for rest of life?
If assuming that everyone was also receiving $5k&#x2F;mo &quot;UBI&quot;...<p>Nothing different, because the cost of everything I buy will go up by a total of $5k&#x2F;mo. Hence why UBI is flawed. 
My total purchasing power will be unchanged.<p>Edit: Maybe I missed it but... I can&#x27;t find this post anywhere on the HackerNews pages anymore. That&#x27;s rather funny. It was quickly pointed out how flawed a theory UBI is by multiple commenters and then <i>poof</i>. Funny...
