claiming that inflation negatively impacts income is one of their disingenuous classics too

i mean apart from the fact that this is false equivalency bullshit, are we going to pretend itt that it's settled science that they do not? because heres a pretty respected labour affiliated source saying it depends

i'm going to assume this is another link to a study that undermines your own point

off the top of my head i'd say something obvious like the price of a basket of commodities that humans require for basic subsistence

you know, like how inflation is already measured

I think the problem comes to down to the way we are throwing the terms around. In my mind, "basic life support" and cost of living are synonymous.

well they aren't. how are you this retarded

Coolguye posted:

already missing the point. the majority of UBI schemes implemented worldwide are not scheduled to do this, because 'cost of living' is a regional and local thing. UBI is supposed to keep pace with basic life support, not cost of living, which has different meanings based upon where you live, what your family situation is, etc.

A UBI would not be cost of living based and for drat good reasons and I dont understand how people can not get that.
