  • Rents in many places have gone up massive amounts in the last few years anyway. Sometimes doubling in a single increase. All without a UBI. Rents increases aren’t tied to an tenants income like you sugest.

    Also, your inflation would only be short term. Long term, after prices spike with sudden increased demand, the high prices will incentivize more supply, bringing prices back down into balance.

    And there’s nothing to say the UBI needs to be implemented all at once any way. It could start as small as $50/month, then ramp up over the course of a decade or two. That smother transition would allow the markets to adapt without major waves.

    There have been wider, longer studies, and what your describing doesn’t actually happen.

    it becomes uncomfortably cramped to work in a window that’s sized at or below half a monitor dimension

    Strange. I do it daily. Websites and apps all look as they are supposed to.

    There’s good reason no book or news paper has lines of text that are 150+ characters long. It makes it more difficult to read.

    People use ultra-wide displays, where it only makes sense to use windows that are a 4th of the full width. They have the same vertical resolution, and it’s functionally no different than using a half a 16/9 display.

    It’s something you’d get used to. a blurred screenshot of my 4K desktop right now

    It seems like a lot of people make all windows, full screen, all the time.

    I don’t understand it. Having multiple things open and visible at the same time, is what a windowed interface is all about. I figured that out as a child. But so many people do it. All. The. Time.
