      I meant if housing, healthcare, and food were guaranteed, what would be the point of UBI?

      Politicians currently advocating for UBI are doing so as a replacement for things like universal healthcare, not in conjunction with it.

          And that would go back to my response… What would be the point?

          A basic income is supposed to cover basic necessities, if those are already covered what is the point other than driving inflation and driving down productivity?
