Universal Basic Income isn&#x27;t creating imaginary money into the existing supply, it&#x27;s just shuffling tax resources around. Potentially lifting impoverished people out of excessive meager full time busy work, and allowing several workers to live a higher quality of life (reduced hours) yet the sum of their employed paycheck + UBI equating about what they had as a full time employee of BusyWork Inc.<p>Pegging the UBI to the consumer price index could possibly help as well. Or segregating luxury items outside of UBI credits. Or just taxing luxury goods and services.
