Devil's Advocate: If I could trade quality UBI for some restrictions on speech I'd probably take the deal. The ability to tell a bad employer to go fuck himself/herself without the threat of homelessness, decent healthcare without bankruptcy, or a guarantee of affordable housing, is worth far more to me than the ability to spew racist or conspiratorial crap on forums, for example.



Usually the trade off is criticizing the agency of your UBI, not the person being taxed for it.
