I don’t think it would have to be any different than people getting a bigger tax return at the end of the year. Or like the HST rebates Ontario has been doing where they pay it out I think quarterly?
As it is right now, I’ve seen the occasional “tax return sale” because businesses know people just got paid a chunk of money and might be impulsive with it.
I don’t think this is necessarily a bad thing, the demand for everyday items won’t change, and people will try and save money regardless of income level.
Please reconsider your example of tax sales with the perspective of a pressure sales tactic designed to extract the extra income from “consumers” lol
Who are woefully undereducated in how to manage their money. When you think about those who are most vulnerable financially your proposal misses the point of the value of a basic income program :(
