The question is do you believe the government is better at providing services than a competitive marketplace?

Government: UBS

Marketplace: UBI

The question is wrong. UBS does not imply services are provided by the government.

I read through your article and I found it to be silly and naive. I would highly recommend actually reading someone like marx or even von mises.

Here are some specific silly parts:

"This means we can predict that a universal basic income will just self-adjust to treat $1K/ month as the new $0."

"At present in the United States, there are more empty homes than homeless people on the street. The flaw with the current economic model is that if these homes were given out, that would incentivize people to become homeless in order to get free housing, and a free house is a loss in profit."

What is UBS?

Universal basic services

tldr; universal basic services ..as always the devil is in the details. How good will the free food and shelter be? Better than nothing for those that decide not to do anything i guess
