    "Billionaires support UBI" some billionaires support all kinds of social welfare programs because they're all equally papering over the real problem anyway.

      I'm not sure what group of socialists is pro-UBI but anti-rent control, anti-union, and pro-austerity. I'm not sure who you're talking to when you make arguments like this.
