Bit of a ding dong on [[universal basic income]] vs [[universal basic services]]. I found it a bit confrontational and not that illuminating.

• UBS is kind of extension and sanctification of public services.
• Against UBI: costs too much? Gives government one easy lever to switch off. Rich people get it. Perpetuates markets and capitalism.
• Against UBS: … Also too expensive? Removes ability to do/choose things oneself?
