For the low price of eradicating oligarchy we could increase the free flow of capital between producers and consumers. With a ubi conceived as stakeholder profit we could likely eliminate many social services and welfare contracts. The grain industry might get gutted, I guess?
There are problems with today's implementation social/welfare programs that can be fixed, mitigated, or perhaps even eliminated by shifting gears to implementing a UBI, such as the wasteful & unnecessary overhead involved in running those programs, and the scams & fraud involved.
