    I don’t think a UBI makes sense, for many people it will just be extra money in their pocket to spend which continues the endless inflation in prices until the gain disappears.

    More efficient targeting of benefits to those who need it with that money would actually help reduce inequality

      Every single example of means testing has been more expensive than just distributing the benefits to the people that ask for them.
