you'll end up needing price controls for everything because every non idiot business owner will raise prices to adjust for the ubi implemented

In a typical implementation UBI replaces some aspects of social security instead of coming on top of it. The main advantages of UBI over unemployment benefit are:

- simplicity
- lack of welfare traps
- being deceit-proof

Since it replaces some but not all existing welfare systems, the problems are:

- someone will lose compared to current system
- discretionary benefits (such as housing) can still create welfare traps

Why do you believe UBI is free money from heaven? Unemployment benefits and other social systems like that have existed for quite a while now.
