And because wages are high so is the cost of goods and services to bring in the revenue to pay those wages. Which in turn means people need higher wages to be able to afford them.
Okay, so now the former employees are getting paid nothing. How is that better than getting paid 'not enough but still something'?
Why can't people live off the UBI? Why do business have to provide a living wage if people are already getting paid without working? It seems like having the one would remove concern over getting the other.
Oh lord, one of those.
