    UBI needs a successful implementation on a national scale somewhere before anyone will take it seriously.

    Trouble with that is it’s not just a redistribution of money but also power. If governments lose the levers to disqualify certain demographics from benefits that mutes the impact of porkbarreling and grift. That’s a dealbreaker for some.
