I have a feeling that if a UBI happened then landlords would just adjust prices accordingly.

Our deficit spending now is enough to impact purchasing power and value of the dollar and most if it never even circulates. Increasing circulted supply as much as UBI would (since we all know we're never not deficit spending in a fiscal year probably ever again) would absolutely tank the purchasing power of a dollar like you've never fucking seen. Your life savings will turn to sand before your eyes.

Might work in the US but in Canada you are not allowed to raise rent above the amount the government says you can increase it, so long as you have tenants. The increased amount you are allowed dowsn’ Keep up with rising costs and this is why lots of long term tenants end up getting kicked out in favour of new tenants. But you also can’t kick out a tenant. Unless a family member is moving in so you have to get a family memto move in for 3 months to get an unwanted tenant out and then you can get a new tenant for the appropriate rent.

Why would they raise $1,000 it a month? The median household income is $60,000. Let's say you have two in a household, then that's $24,000 a month. Do households making $84,000 a month pay $1,000 more in rent? Rent will rise, but they won't rise the whole UBI amount.

To bloody well clarify, you're not gonna be getting a pile of cash. You'll be getting digital dollars, FEDbux, on your offifical FEDbux card, and every transaction made on the card will be traceable, probably through a blockchain. You might be able to buy gold or crypto with physical dollars from your actual job, but only until physical currency is phased out and a digital dollar is phased in.

This will all be for your own good of course, because physical money is dangerous, i-it m-might transfer germs! The Rona! If you you support physical dollars, you're a grandmother murdering psychopath! Police, put him in prison!

I personally think the elites don't care if the system gets destroyed, since they're the ones with the wealth to take control in the aftermath, just like the Rothchilds did with the London stock exchange. Normies are being led to be hyper-partisan against each other rather than the government, so if violence does break out it'll be the left and right fighting each other, with the same old government officials stepping in after the violence to be the hero and 'stop the chattel from being uncivilised'.

This is a good exercise? What is wealth other than wellbeing? Wealth is equivalent to welfare and has nothing to do with systems of control. What you really need a better understanding of is power. Does a royal have power over you in a closed room? The answer is "only if you give it to them."

>what is wealth other than wellbeing?
Anon, wellbeing must take into account the future. In order to secure wellbeing for the future, one must prepare, be it through securing food, housing, work, or money as a tool for storing wealth. When money becomes unsound and is manipulated by elites for their own good (aka fiat money), it does impact the wellbeing of those who worked for it. Or do you believe that the devaluing of your money by supposedly 2% each year is in your interest?

Any tenant who suddenly raises prices under a UBI is an absolute brainlet, a UBI would mean You never have to worry about people paying rent again, it is a steady flow of income for life and if you keep prices reasonable you never have to worry about tenants and would have 100% occupancy.
