Prepare to stand in line for your monthly bread and milk.  No meat, though.  That’s for the political class.

Frankly, it's hard for me to imagine.  Even as liberal as I am, I have to wonder how many people will just stay home and live off their UBI.  And also I wonder if that might even be a good thing, since there won't be jobs for them anyway.

Purchasing power would decrease ... that would make the poor have money but little to do with it, because of the price hikes that would also affect the middle class.
