Everyone gets a chance. Just because not everyone uses it correctly doesn't validate the current standard of no one getting a chance.

"Well, we could build a bridge but someone might walk around it." Is not a valid reason to cancel the bridge, it's an aimless aside with no bearing on the conversation about how the bridge will help most people.

Awesome, I understand your reservations and I wish we could find a way to mass dispel them because it is a common perspective.

In my comment I never mentioned any personal reservations, I want to point out there is a lack of data on the effects it might have on the community as a whole. I feel I cannot be for or against UBI without knowing that, although seeing how big the positives are for individuals I am (and have been for a while) leaning towards being for it.
