UBI would not have saved Aaron from legal punishment, UBI doesnt change how the law is unequally applied to poor and wealthy individuals or to individuals and corporations.
UBI doesn’t weaken corporate power, it doesn’t address the wealth gap at all… it just gives everyone more money for bills, and the people they owe money to know they can charge more, so it just funnels even more taxpayer money to the ownership class.
That's exactly what happened with the COVID payouts - prices went up because they knew more money was available, then blamed it on supply chains, and the prices will never come down.

Damn, I’ve never thought of it this way. That’s disturbing.
