Society is vulnerable now and will still be with UBI, you need legislation and you need to enforce that legislation either way. I think the global increase in prices doesn’t pan out equally; in some places this is a much bigger problem then in others.

I’d believe that if we hadn’t just witnessed all food retailers simultaneously jacking up their prices recently and blaming inflation for it.
